Livermorium and Flerovium are just two of the newly added elements in Chemistry’s Periodic Table. They are positioned in the 114 and 116 spots under super heavy or Transuranium elements.
The two were actually synthesized some 10 years ago but were only confirmed after repeated experiments. Other elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 have also been synthesized but has not been confirmed yet.
Flerovium will have an atomic symbol of Fl to honor Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, where superheavy elements, including element 114, were synthesized by scientists. Livermorium will be symbolized as Lv honoring Livermore National Laboratory and the city of Livermore, California.
