119 Uue Ununennium 315

Ununennium

UNKNOWN, BUT PREDICTED TO BE AN ALKALI METAL
Bohr Model: Electrons arranged in energy shells around the nucleus.

Ununennium, also known as eka-francium or simply element 119, is the hypothetical chemical element with symbol Uue and atomic number 119. Ununennium and Uue are the temporary systematic IUPAC name and symbol respectively, until a permanent name is decided upon. In the periodic table of the elements, it is expected to be an s-block element, an alkali metal, and the first element in the eighth period.
