How the character is built
The 石 radical marks this as a solid non-metal, and that is not a coincidence of this one character — it holds right across the table. Read the radical first and the element's state at room temperature is already settled.
From 田纳西 (Tennessee) — and note the STONE radical, chosen because a halogen this heavy is predicted to be a solid.
This character is used for the element and little else — you are unlikely to meet it outside a chemistry classroom.
Where it sits among the 118
Nothing here has ever existed in bulk, so Tennessine has no measured melting point, density or natural abundance — the figures published for it are predictions, and they disagree with each other.
First isolated in 2009.
