Roentgenium is predicted to have similar properties to copper, silver, and gold.
A superheavy, transactinide, radioactive and synthetic metal.
Fun Fact! An ode to its radioactive properties, roentgenium was named in honor of Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, the physicist who discovered X-rays a century earlier in 1895.
