- AThe names should be based on the discoverer's choice.
- BThe names should be based on famous scientists.
- CThe names should be derived from the atomic number using numerical roots and end with "ium."
- DThe names should be selected randomly.
Correct answer
C. The names should be derived from the atomic number using numerical roots and end with "ium."
Step-by-step solution
The IUPAC names for elements with Z above 100, 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.
