Nihonium's atomic number is 113 and its symbol is Nh. It is a synthetic chemical element, and it is extremely radioactive; its most stable known isotope, nihonium-286, has a half-life of about 10 seconds.

The name comes from the common Japanese name for Japan (日本, Nihon) because it was discovered by a team of Japanese scientists in 2004.Very little is known about nihonium, as it has only been made in very small amounts that decay within seconds, and preliminary experiments in 2017 showed that elemental nihonium is not very volatile; its chemistry remains largely unexplored.

This display is contained within crystal clear Lucite acrylic.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.
