Oganesson - Wikipedia
Oganesson is a synthetic chemical element; it has symbol Og and atomic number 118. It was first synthesized in 2002 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, near Moscow, Russia, by a joint team of Russian and American scientists.
What Is the Heaviest or Densest Element on the Periodic Table?
2020年12月20日 · Osmium is about twice as dense as lead, 1.2 times heavier than gold, and about 23 times heavier than water. Iridium follows osmium on the periodic table and is nearly as dense, with a density of 22.56 g/cm 3. The heaviest element, in terms of atomic weight, is oganesson (atomic number 118).

Superheavy element - Wikipedia
The heaviest element known at the end of the 19th century was uranium, with an atomic mass of about 240 (now known to be 238) amu. Accordingly, it was placed in the last row of the periodic table; this fueled speculation about the possible existence of elements heavier than uranium and why A = 240 seemed to be the limit.
