NEW ELEMENTS!!!

When you looked at the table of elements in your science class a year ago you might have thought " Wow , those are all elements that exist and we have discovered them". But that is not true, many elements a to be discovered and an example of that is that last of may 2 new elements were found and accepted in the table of element: the flerovium ans livermorium, now making the periodic table filled with 118 elements. Both of those elements are radio actives and are sythetique which also means that we cant find them naturally on earth.

This is how scientist created them:
calcium (20 protons) +curium ( 96 protons) = livermorium (116 protons)  and a bit later .. = Flerovium ( 114 protons)
also:
plutonium (94) + calcium ( 20 protons) = Flerovium ( 114 protons)

Doesn't all this make you want to have your own lab and create elements, that could be new additons to our universe, that will be able to exist in text books for ever. If it does start by listening to your science classes even though anoying a teacher once in a while isn't that bad at all!!!
Goodby future scientists...
