Unbibium (IPA: /ˌʌnˈbɪbiəm/) is the temporary name of an undiscovered chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Ubb and has the atomic number 122.
[edit] History
The name unbibium is used as a placeholder, as in scientific articles about the search for element 122. Transuranic elements (those beyond uranium) are, except for microscopic quantities, always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist or the location of a laboratory that does work in atomic physics (see systematic element name for more information).
