What is the basis for the systematic nomenclature recommended by the IUPAC for new elements?

Options

  1. AThe discoverer's name.
  2. BThe element's appearance.
  3. CThe atomic number of the element.
  4. DThe element's weight.

Correct answer

C. The atomic number of the element.

Step-by-step solution

A systematic nomenclature be derived directly from the atomic number of the element using the numerical roots for 0 and numbers 1-9.The roots are put together in order of digits which make up the atomic number and “ium” is added at the end. Like for a element with atomic number 112, its name will be Ununbium.
