	Wikipedia, Aug. 31, 2012 (Ununseptium is the temporary name of a superheavy artificial chemical element with temporary symbol Uus and atomic number 117. The element, also known as eka-astatine or simply element 117, is the second-heaviest element of all created. Its discovery was first announced in 2010, when the element was claimed to have been created in Dubna by a joint Russian--American collaboration. Another experiment in 2011 created one of its daughters using a different method, partially proving the results of the discovery experiment, and the original experiment was repeated successfully in 2012. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), however, has made no comment on whether or not the element can be recognized as discovered. Element category: unknown. In the periodic table ununseptium is located in the group 17, all previous members of which are halogens. The element is unlikely to be a halogen, however, and will probably show differences, although a few key properties such as melting and boiling points and first ionization are expected to follow the periodic trends. Using Mendeleev’s nomenclature for unnamed and undiscovered elements, ununseptium should be known as eka-astatine or dvi-iodine. In 1979 IUPAC published recommendations according to which the element was to be called ununseptium (with the corresponding symbol of Uus), a systematic element name as a placeholder, until the discovery of the element is confirmed and a name is decided on.)
	The element ununseptium, via It’s elemental : the periodic table of elements website, Aug. 31, 2012 (Ununseptium; Uus; Atomic Number: 117; Atomic Weight: 294; Phase at Room Temperature: Expected to be a Solid; Element Classification: Unknown; Period Number: 7; Group Number: 17; Group Name: Halogen; radioactive and artificially produced; a temporary name that means one-one-seven; On April 5, 2010, scientists working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia, along with scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, announced the creation of ununseptium. They produced ununseptium by bombarding atoms of berkelium-249 with ions of calcium-48. Ununseptium’s most stable isotope, ununseptium-294, has a half-life of about 112 milliseconds. It decays into ununpentium-290 through alpha decay.)
