Possible use of ionic liquids to probe Nh chemistry (based on studies of In and Tl)

Interesting paper! Double sharp (talk) 15:30, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NhOH

Is this been actually synthesized? This is very confusing. Please help! Porygon-Z 19:15, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I think you want to know about NhOH, right? Random exploration (talk) 13:41, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let update

I think the half life of nihonium is 20secs Source: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/element/Nihonium Random exploration (talk) 13:38, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your source states "7 s ± 3" not 20. Vsmith (talk) 14:01, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's weird, because on Google's preview section when searching "nh-286 decay pattern," it says a half-life of 20 seconds, but on another source, ptable.com, it says the element's half-life is 5 minutes. Please help! Aknip (talk) 18:34, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because ²⁸⁶Nh was predicted to have a 5-minute half-life before it was actually discovered. Double sharp (talk) 11:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Date of ceremony

Article was published on 15 March 2017, and mentions the ceremony being on Tuesday. So probably 14 March. Double sharp (talk) 04:21, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Added an image because the preview image was a confusing diagram of the crystal structure: also, just because no macroscopic quantities have been assembled doesn't mean the article doesn't have an image. Mrfoogles (talk) 21:32, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
