Superheavy Element/meta

Elements from 114 through 118 have been produced at a number of scientific research locations around the world. None have been produced with sufficient neutrons to reach the magic number of neutrons and protons to reach the island of stability. One possible magic number of neutrons is 184, and some possible matching proton numbers are 114, 120 and 126. Most tests have shown these stable elements to have half-lives on the order of a few minutes, rather than the microseconds of other, similar elements.
TJonesLo Notes (2008)[edit]
The idea of the Island of stability is a proven theory in physics, though still theoretical. There are no currently known examples of elements which fall into the island of stability.
