Did You Know?
It is named in honor of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California, which collaborated with the Russian team at JINR on its discovery.
It is a member of Group 16, below polonium, and is predicted to be a solid metal at room temperature.
The first atoms of livermorium were detected by observing the alpha decay of moscovium.
Its most stable known isotope has a half-life of only about 53 milliseconds.
