Ununennium (eka-francium) is the temporary name of an undiscovered chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uue and has the atomic number 119. It would most likely be extremely reactive with water. Interestingly, it would be the first radioactive liquid (if guesses are right) to be discovered. There are radioactive solids, and radon is a gas but there are no liquids. It would also be only the second liquid metal (the other being mercury).
History
The name ununennium is used as a placeholder, such as in scientific articles about the search for element 119. Such transuranic elements are always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist.
