Short Reflection on the Chemistry of Superheavy Elements

FIGURE 8.45 The chemical periodic system according tho the Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations by Fricke and Greiner (1970). The different orbitals and their occupation are depicted by shading. Thus, element 112 is eka-mercury and element 114 is eka-lead. 

Many of these early predictions have been confirmed. Most recently the chemistry of elements 112 and 114 as eka-mercury and eka-lead have been established by Robert Eichler and his colleagues at Dubna [73,74], confirming exactly early theoretical predictions.
