Description

The chemistry of superheavy element 114 is reviewed. The ground state of element 114 is closed shell [112]7s27p1/22 and shows a distinct chemical inertness (low reactivity). This inertness makes it rather difficult to study the atom-at-a-time chemistry of 114 in the gas or liquid phase. (author)
