Uneinnilium, Uen, is the temporary name for element 190. Nuclides of this element are likely to be possible. It is unlikely that it can form; but, if it does, it will disappear within 1000 sec.

Nuclear properties[]

There is (No) predictions for half-life or decay modes are available for elements with Z > 175. It is possible to determine a boundary in the (Z,A) {or (Z,N)} plane outside of which no nuclides are possible, as detailed in "The Final Element", this wiki.

A nuclear drop containing 190 protons and more than 645 neutrons must decay by neutron emission with a half-life under 10-14 sec. A drop with 190 protons and fewer than 302 neutrons must decay by spontaneous fission with a half-life under 10-14 sec. Nuclear drops in the band from 835Uen to 492Uen are not required to decay either by neutron emission or by fission, so it is possible they will survive the 10-14 sec needed for them to become nuclides.

The boundary described above was arrived at by applying large factors of safety to quantities which have been predicted. By looking at which factors apply to a particular (Z,A) point, it is possible to make a qualitative guess how likely it is that (Z,A) is a nuclide. Details of this method are given in "Nuclear Guesswork", this Wiki. What follows should not be considered predictions, only guesses as to what might be. Likelihood that a nuclide can exist are given in four categories: likely, unlikely, improbable, and not impossible.

Nuclear drops in the bands 835Uen to 806Uen and 719Uen to 696Uen are likely to decay by neutron emission but are stable against fission. Nuclides in these bands are unlikely. Drops in the band 805Uen to 720Uen are likely to decay by neutron emission and require a moderate amount of structural correction energy. Nuclides in this band are improbable. 695Uen and drops in the band 597Uen to 592Uen are unlikely to decay by neutron emission and are stable against fission. Nuclides in these bands are likely. Drops in the bands 694Uen to U598en and 591Uen to 559Uen are unlikely to decay by neutron emission and require a moderate amount of structural correction energy. Nuclides in this band are unlikely. Drops in the band 558Uen to 492Uen are unlikely to decay by neutron emission but require large structural correction. Nuclides in this band are improbable.

Occurrence[]

Formation[]

695Uen is likely to be a nuclide. Depending on the neutron dripline's actual location, it may form when material over 700 - 800 meters deep is ejected from a neutron star during a merger. (See Neutron Star.)

597Uen to 592Uen are also likely to be nuclides. They are too far from the neutron dripline to form directly during a neutron star merger, and cannot form via beta decay because fission-decaying nuclides lie between them and the dripline.

It is implausible that neutron capture can form any Uen isotope.

Persistence[]

If any Uen forms, it will decay away within 1000 sec of the neutron star merger that produced it.

Atomic properties[]

The nuclear charge of Uen is so great that stationary-state orbital theory cannot describe its electrons. In addition, both nuclear size and nuclear shape may affect its electron structure. If these effects are small, and if the assumptions made in Period 9 Elements are valid, Uen will be a 9th period active metal.
