'This is the first molecule to be studied in detail to display this phenomenon, dubbed "supervalent hybridization"'[edit]

Not true! See Greenwood and Earnshaw, p. 117, for studies of sd hybridisation in CaF₂. Double sharp (talk) 12:03, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More about spin-orbit effects for H₂X (X = Te, Po, Lv): http://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.2187001 Double sharp (talk) 15:53, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the discovery[edit]

This article and those on the other superheavy elements talk about how they were discovered by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. I know the teams worked together, but was the element actually discovered at both facilities? Would you say radon was discovered in Canada because that's where Ernest Rutherford and Robert B. Owens were at the time? Squee3 (talk) 02:31, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Lv atoms were seen at JINR, but the Cm target necessary for their production was made at LLNL. (Same for the pairs Fl/Pu, Mc,Ts/Bk, and Og/Cf). Hence cooperation was necessary and both facilities receive credit. Double sharp (talk) 07:15, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but the question is where it was discovered, not by whom. Squee3 (talk) 18:06, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was certainly discovered in Dubna, then. Double sharp (talk) 03:51, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! That's the information I needed. Squee3 (talk) 19:54, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But the things about Fr say that EN(Fr)>EN(Cs)[edit]

So it's possible to be possible to make hydrogen-livermoride... Alfa-ketosav (talk) 11:12, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just because Fr is more electronegative than Cs does not mean that Lv is more electronegative than Po. The two situations are different; for Fr 7s is relativistically stabilised, but for Lv 7p_3/2 is relativistically destabilised. Double sharp (talk) 13:50, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Indeed, Lv is expected to be significantly more electropositive than Po. Double sharp (talk) 06:11, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
