What recommendation has the IUPAC made to avoid naming disputes for new elements?

Options

  1. AThe IUPAC recommends that new elements should be named after famous scientists.
  2. BThe IUPAC recommends that new elements should not be named until their discovery is proven.
  3. CThe IUPAC recommends that new elements should be named by the first laboratory to synthesize them.
  4. DThe IUPAC recommends that new elements should be named after the laboratory where they were discovered.

Correct answer

B. The IUPAC recommends that new elements should not be named until their discovery is proven.

Step-by-step solution

To avoid problems, the IUPAC has made a recommendation that until a new element’s discovery is proved, and its name is officially recognised, a systematic nomenclature be derived directly from the atomic number of the element using the numerical roots for 0 and numbers 1-9.
