There have been some predictions that element 114 willbe relatively stable in comparison with many other elements beyond uranium in the periodic table. Predict themaximum oxidation state of this element. Based on thetrends in the oxidation states of other members of itsgroup, is it likely that this oxidation state will be thedominant one?
