The IUPAC name of element with atomic number 105 is

  • A.Mendelevium
  • B.Nobelium
  • C.Lawrencium
  • D.Rutherfordium
  • E.Dubnium

Answer: E

Element 105 is Dubnium (Db).

The heavy actinoids and the first transactinoids run in order: Mendelevium (101), Nobelium (102), Lawrencium (103), Rutherfordium (104) and Dubnium (105). IUPAC's temporary systematic name for 105 was unnilpentium (Unp), from the digits 1-0-5, before the permanent name dubnium was adopted after the Russian research centre at Dubna.

The other four options are the elements immediately before it, a common trap when the numbers are remembered only roughly.
