New Names

I can't believe that Cop Car didn't break this news first, especially since I've been sitting on it for a couple of weeks. Or, maybe she did break the news, and I have forgotten it. Two elements of the periodic table have recieved their official names; Flerovium and Livermorium. Previously, the two elements had gone by the temporary names of ununquadium and ununhexium. They live in the segragated, violent neighborhoods of 114 and 116 on the table. Those sections of the chart are populated by the smashing together of two atoms to produce another - not a quiet, scenic neighborhood for sure.
