Notes

1. ↑ The English tennessine has not been « officially » translated yet; the popular press translation (the only one present on the Web as of the summer of 2016) is the anglicism tenesino. On the Spanish Wikipedia's page discussing the element, the discussion states that the logic of the other halogen names yields rather teneso.
