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]
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 7p3/2 is relativistically destabilised. Double sharp (talk) 13:50, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
