Periodic table / Halogens
117Tennessine
Tennessine is a halogen (predicted) in group 17, period 7. It has only ever been made a few atoms at a time, so nobody has seen it as a solid, liquid or gas.
- Symbol
- Ts
- Atomic number
- 117 protons in the nucleus
- Standard atomic weight
- None. Tennessine has no stable isotopes, so the mass of a sample depends on which isotopes it holds.
