Time to update those periodic tables. Element 112 now has "real" name. - Mr. Gorman
Chemical element 112 is named 'Copernicium': "(Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres) The heaviest recognized chemical element with the atomic number 112 was discovered at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and -- since February 19, 2010, -- officially carries the name copernicium and the chemical symbol 'Cn'. The name was approved and officially announced today by the international union for chemistry IUPAC. The name 'Copernicium' honors scientist and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus."
