How it bonds· family overview
Copernicium (Cn) is a synthetic super-heavy element produced one atom at a time. Its position predicts d-block transition-metal chemistry — multiple oxidation states, oxide and halide salts — but only a handful of atoms have ever existed, so the chemistry is largely inferred from group trends.
