Unveiling the Chemical Secrets of Moscovium and Nihonium
Scientists have successfully observed the chemical properties of superheavy elements moscovium and nihonium, despite their extremely short lifespans. These elements, created in labs by fusing atomic nuclei, are more reactive than expected due to the relativistic effect, where their electrons move at speeds approaching light, altering their chemical behavior. This discovery enhances our understanding of fundamental chemistry, although practical applications remain limited due to the elements' instability.
