We have no idea because we don't know the properties of super-heavy elements. There is some conjecture from theory about an "island of stability" where super-dense elements above 118 become more stable, with half-lives in human terms like many seconds (rather than microseconds or nanoseconds). If so it would open all sorts of doors for physics and chemistry experiments on super heavy elements we can't do today because they disappear too quickly. It has even been suggested that these elements are effectively stable and account for some of what we call dark matter. (That one is unlikely.). Though really the chances are that such elements destroy themselves so quickly they can't be usefully examined.
