Imagine you are a scientist who has discovered a new element. Name this element after yourself and justify that the symbol you have chosen follows the IUPAC rules. [Pg. No. 149]

Answer: Verified

If I discovered a new element, I would name it Advayium after the name Advay. I would choose the symbol Av for this element.
This symbol follows the basic IUPAC rules because it is made from the name of the element, has one capital letter followed by one small letter, and is not written in all capital or all small letters. The name also ends with "-ium", which is commonly used for newly named elements. Before final approval, it would also be checked that the symbol Av is not already used for any other element. Thus, Advayium (Av) would be a suitable name and symbol for the new element.
