Element Meitnerium
It is an extremely radioactive synthetic element (an element not found in nature, but can be created in a laboratory).
Meitnerium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Mt and atomic number 109.
In the periodic table, meitnerium is a d-block transactinide element.
It is a member of the 7th period and is placed in the group 9 elements, although no chemical experiments have yet been carried out to confirm that it behaves as the heavier homologue to iridium in group 9 as the seventh member of the 6d series of transition metals.
Meitnerium is calculated to have similar properties to its lighter homologues, cobalt, rhodium, and iridium.
