Unbipentium (Template:PronEng), or eka-neptunium (suggested name: Golver[citation needed]), is the temporary name of an undiscovered chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Ubp and has the atomic number 125.
History
The name unbipentium is used as a placeholder, such as in scientific articles about the search for element 125. Transuranic elements beyond plutonium are always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist or the location of a laboratory that does work in atomic physics.
Element 125 is of interest because it is within a range that has been predicted [1] to be within a range of experimentally feasible "island of stability" elements based on a mean field theory based on a model of alpha decay.
The article, in the peer-reviewed Physical Review Journal, argued that the self-coupling of the omega meson could be responsible for greater shell stability based earlier work, which suggested that self-coupling meson effects were stronger than originally predicted.
The name Golver has been suggested in scientific circles, but IUPAC have yet to formally recognize the name.
