Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A radioactive transuranic element: "Uup" is the temporary systematic element name for the chemical element with atomic number 115. It is a synthetic, highly radioactive element not found in nature.
Usage Notes
  • The term "uup" is a placeholder name derived from the IUPAC systematic nomenclature for undiscovered or newly synthesized elements. It is formed from the roots (1), (1), and (5), representing the digits 1, 1, and 5 of the atomic number. It is not a common word and is used almost exclusively in scientific contexts, particularly in nuclear physics and chemistry.
  • The approved permanent name for this element is moscovium (symbol Mc).
Examples of Usage
  • Noun:
    • The laboratory announced the successful synthesis of a few atoms of uup.
    • Before its permanent naming, element 115 was officially referred to as ununpentium (uup).
Advanced Usage
  • In systematic nomenclature: The prefix "ununpentium" follows the IUPAC rules for naming elements with atomic numbers greater than 100, where digits are translated into specific Latin numerical roots.
Variants and Related Words
  • Ununpentium: The full, formal systematic name for the element.
  • Moscovium (Mc): The permanent name officially assigned to element 115.
  • Transuranic element: A category of elements with atomic numbers greater than uranium (92), to which uup belongs.
Synonyms
  • Element 115: A direct reference by its atomic number.
  • Ununpentium: The full systematic name.
  • Moscovium: The permanent name.
