@article{hrstrm2016NamesAS,  title={Names and symbols of the elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118 (IUPAC Recommendations 2016)},  author={Lars {\"O}hrstr{\"o}m and Jan Reedijk},  journal={Pure and Applied Chemistry},  year={2016},  volume={88},  pages={1225 - 1229},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:99429711}}
Abstract A joint IUPAC/IUPAP Working Party (JWP) has confirmed the discovery of the elements with atomic numbers (Z) 113, 115, 117 and 118. In accordance with the 2016 IUPAC guideline for naming new elements, the discoverers were invited to propose names and symbols for the elements. Claims have been assigned to them and the following are proposed: (a) nihonium and symbol Nh, for the element with Z=113, (b) moscovium with the symbol Mc, for the element with Z=115, (c) tennessine with the symbol…
