If i'm not mistaken you will not be able to use Xenium (name).
TeamXodus has made a X-box module which name is ... Xenium. www.teamxodus.com

This sucks :/

[RustedSoul]

would'nt worry too much about it, names can be changed as easily as they were created.

for instance - xeniom

[mikker]

Bah. We've based nothing on that. Xenium is "Xen" and the common ending of atoms, "ium". That is CLEARLY something else. Don't worry.

[Qonfused]

the problem with elemnents ending with ium is that they are to stable, of course i you manage to fision them you get a lott of energy.

[fux0r666]

That's not true. Some elements ending in ium have a half life of only seconds.

[Qonfused]

k, sorry then. don't have mutch knowlege of the elements above 100

[Breunor]

uranium and plutonium sound like good candidates for why 'ium' shouldn't make a difference.

[stewart]

Take a page from Xcom 2, ... Xenite

[fux0r666]

Xenium's real life counterpart, unumpentium 115 is another such element that is a good example. If I recall correctly, all 3 nuclei of Uup that were created in the initial experiments decayed in less than a second.

[Pheonix]

Uhh.... Zynothium?

[Torgen]

I can see why Xenium is such a good name: "Xeno" + "ium." Maybe just add that syllable and call it "Xenonium" if you have to? (I like Xenium better, though.)

[mikker]

Xenonite sounds like a good candidate for the crystal that xenium origin.

[stewart]

I'd change it slightly, to Xenite, Xenonite sounds a little aukward. Besides isnt there something call Xenon already?
Or why not Xenoium (perhaps pronounced "Zee Noy Um" or "Zeh Noy Um")

[Smichal]

I would rather use Xylitium (or Xilitium?) (or even "Xylithium 116" )

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

U could use a real element Ununpentium 115:

Experiments resulting in the formation of element 115 were reported in February 2004 following experiments carried out between 14 July - 10 August 2003 involving scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research at the U400 cyclotron with the Dubna gas-filled recoil separator, DGFRS) in Russia in a collaboration also involving scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Only four nuclei were identified and the claim has not yet been ratified, but the results are now published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal.

Currently, the identification of element 115 is yet to be confirmed by IUPAC, but the experiments leading to element 115 are now published in a prestigious peer reviewed journal. As only about four atoms of element 115 have ever been made (through nuclear reactions involving fusing calcium nuclei with americium nuclei) isolation of an observable quantity has never been achieved, and may well never be.

24395Am + 4820Ca 288115Uup + 3 1n

In these first experiments, three nuclei of the 288Uup isotope were made and one of the 287Uup isotope. All the nuclei formed decayed in less than a second by emitting a-particles. These decays resulted in isotopes of element 113 (mass number 283 or 284, containing 113 protons and either 170 or 171 neutrons). These isotopes of element 113 are also radioactive and underwent further a-decay processes to isotopes of element 111 and so on down to at least element 105 (dubnium).

288115Uup 284113Uut + 42He (80.3 milliseconds)

288115Uup 284113Uut + 42He (18.6 milliseconds)

288115Uup 284113Uut + 42He (280 milliseconds)



- or u could use Ununhexium 116:

An isotope of Element 116 (292Uuh) was identified in the reaction of 248Cm with 48Ca. It is very shortlived and decomposes to a known isotope of element 114, 288114Uuq.

Results published on the 6th December 2000 concerning recent experiments at Dubna in Russia (involving workers from The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russian Federation; The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California, USA; The Research Institute of Atomic Reactors, Dimitrovgrad, Russian Federation; and The State Enterprise Electrohimpribor, Lesnoy, Russian Federation) describe the decay of the isotope 292Uuh (produced in the reaction of 248Cm with 48Ca) to 292Uuq.

24896Cm + 4820Ca 292116Uuh + 4 n

This decayed 47 milliseconds later as follows to a previously identified isotope of elements 114, Uuq.

292116Uuh 288114Uuq + 42He
