Units
We should not be using the electronvolt alone to measure energy; it is all right to mention this if it is what the sources use but the usual unit in chemistry is the kilojoule/mol. --John (talk) 10:59, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- I was sure that the {{convert}} template handled this. Anyone else recall? --John (talk) 11:23, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm, it doesn't appear to. But Kilojoule per mole says that 1 kJ·mol−1 = 1.04 × 10−2 eV; the reciprocal of that is 96.154 (giving it to a few more significant figures, so that we can round the final result instead). So we can do it manually. (Though the MeV figure in "Discovery" would be pretty big in kJ·mol−1.)
- Maybe I can actually think about FA for this one after your copyediting work... Double sharp (talk) 12:38, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Flerovium. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
- Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20080528130343/http://www.jinr.ru/publish/Preprints/2004/160(E7-2004-160).pdf to http://www.jinr.ru/publish/Preprints/2004/160(E7-2004-160).pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}
).
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

Nonmetalloid
As per the present article, the element is listed as a possible metalloid. Metalloids are elements which resemble metals in appearance, but chemically they are more like nonmetals. I here by define a new term, 'Nonmetalloid' which is just the opposite to 'Metalloid'. ie. a Nonmetalloid physically resembles a nonmetal but chemically resembles a metal. Anoop Manakkalath (talk) 10:09, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Has any reliable source ever used this term? Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, so if unsourced, this cannot be added in the article. Sorry. ComplexRational (talk) 10:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- No. That's why I try to introduce a new term 'Nonmetalloid'. Anoop Manakkalath (talk) 06:38, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- If you're introducing it, then it definitely is original research and is inappropriate to include. Wikipedia is not the place for you to introduce stuff. ComplexRational (talk) 13:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Zintl anions?
Are there any predictions so far about Flerovium's (in)ability to form anions?
It would be interesting to study the possibility of anion formation in elements like Nh, Fl, Mc, Lv and Ts, and in case that anions can be formed, whether they act similarly to their lighter homologues. Since most Zintl-type anions follow the classical octet rule, and since the "full" electron shell of Og is expected to be far less stable than that of its lighter homologues, anions of the elements 113-117 may not neccessarily follow this principle. On the other hand, Ts- and Lv2- are predicted to exist with their expected stability roughly following group trends. McH3 and Mc5- (analogues of ammonia and pentazolide) seem to be possible as well. By contrast, FlH4 is expected to be extremely unstable, much more so than PbH4. But what about e.g. Fl4- or Fl44-? Do relativistic effects move the position of the Zintl line from element 113/114 to the right? Or is there a "new chemistry" appearing with anions like monomeric Nh- adopting the electronic structure of Fl instead of Og?
(I have summed up information about predictions cited in other Wikipedia articles about these elements. I don't expect any satisfying answers to my questions in the second text block, as most of them will still be insufficiently studied to give really good answers. They are only there to explain my motive for asking about Zintl anions of Fl. I mean, anions of superheavy elements are no less interesting than cations, so I ask if there are any studies about Fl (and also Cp, Nh, Mc) occurring in negative oxidation states.) --2003:E0:7F07:54B5:B536:BD88:CD75:3D8E (talk) 15:46, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. We also don't engage in speculation. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:08, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Why exactly is this unscientific speculation? It is just a summary of theoretical calculations which have been cited in various Wikipedia articles. Besides, Nh- is expected to be possible. See the article on Nihonium. --93.195.28.183 (talk) 15:07, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
- We need an academic source abut this specific prediction. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hg is probably the best guide we have for how Fl should behave. But extending it to clusters is still OR. Double sharp (talk) 01:20, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
