What is the suggested naming convention for elements with atomic numbers above 100 according to the IUPAC?

Options

  1. AThe names should be based on the discoverer's choice.
  2. BThe names should be based on famous scientists.
  3. CThe names should be derived from the atomic number using numerical roots and end with "ium."
  4. 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.
