Flerovium and Livermorium

For The Periodic Table of Videos, there can be no bigger story than a new element on the table.

Except, of course, TWO new elements!

This week it was revealed that two new names have been proposed for elements 114 and 116.

They are Flerovium and Livermorium.

We did not post our video as quickly as usual (because I was away filming in Oxford).

However this went up last night.
