What is the primary reason for the need for highly sophisticated and costly equipment in the synthesis and characterization of new elements?

Options

  1. ATo make the discovery process easier.
  2. BTo ensure the safety of scientists.
  3. CBecause new elements are highly stable.
  4. DBecause the new elements are highly unstable and require specialized equipment.

Correct answer

D. Because the new elements are highly unstable and require specialized equipment.

Step-by-step solution

The new elements with very high atomic numbers are so unstable that only minute quantities, sometimes only a few atoms of them are obtained. Their synthesis and characterisation, therefore, require highly sophisticated costly equipment and laboratory."
