Solution

The correct option is A Ununhexium
From the IUPAC nomenclature
  • Code for 1 is un
  • Code for 2 is bi
  • Code for 0 is nil
  • 0 = nil (n)
  • 1 = un (u)
  • 2 = bi (b)
  • 3 = tri (t)
  • 4 = quad (q)
  • 5 = pent (p)
  • 6 = hex (h)
  • 7 = sept (s)
  • 8 = oct (o)
  • 9 = enn (e)
The number 116 has two 1’s so Unun and number 6 is hex. So the IUPAC name of
116 is Ununhexium.
