Heaviest Element Discovered
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The element, tentatively named Administratium, (Ad), has no protons or electrons, thus it has an atomic number of 0. It does, however, have one neutron, 75 associate neutrons, 125 deputy associate neutrons, and 111 assistant deputy associates to the neutron. This gives it an atomic mass of 312. The 312 particles are held together in the nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called memosons.
Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. Nevertheless, it can be detected chemically because it seems to impede every reaction in which it takes part. According to Dr. M. Langour, one of the discoverers of the element, a very small amount of Administratium made one reaction that normally takes less than a second, take over four days to go to completion.
Administratium has a half-life of approximately 3 years at which time it does not actually decay. Instead, it undergoes an internal reorganization in which associates to the neutron, deputy associates to the neutron, and assistant deputy associate neutrons all exchange places. Some studies have indicated that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganizations.
