History
Ununtrium was first made by research scientists at the Joint Institute for
Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia in 2003 and by scientists at the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Scientists bombarded calcium nuclei with americium
nuclei.
Ununtrium (Uut) is a temporary element name until it is given an official name
by The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). As a result of
its position in the periodic table ununtrium is expected to be classed as one of
the "other metals". Too little of the element has been synthesized for this to
be confirmed
