An atomic mass of 260 probably means about... 100-120 protons? That's a guess from eyeballing this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_stability_of_isotopes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_stability_...
Still very cool, but not (far) outside of what has been synthesized.
- didgeoridoo 3y agoAh yep, misread “atomic mass” as “atomic number”. Still, decently heavy :)
