found: Wikipedia, Sept. 18, 2012(Hassium; a synthetic element with the symbol Hs and atomic number 108. It is the heaviest member of the group 8 (VIII) elements. The element was first observed in 1984. Experiments have confirmed that hassium is a typical member of group 8 showing a stable +8 oxidation state, analogous to osmium. Hassium is the heavier homologue of osmium; Hassium has historically been known as eka-osmium. During the period of controversy over the names of the elements IUPAC adopted unniloctium (symbol Uno) as a temporary element name for this element. The name hassium was proposed by the officially recognised German discoverers in 1992, derived from the Latin name for the German state of Hesse where the institute is located (Latin: Hassia German: Hessen). In 1994 a committee of IUPAC recommended that element 108 be named hahnium (Hn), in spite of the long-standing convention to give the discoverer the right to suggest a name. After protests from the German discoverers, the name hassium (Hs) was adopted internationally in 1997)
