You do it by finding Uuh in the periodic table and knowing that it will have chemical properties that are similar to those in the group with it. Here is a periodic table on the web. Find element #116 and observe the other elements in the same group (O, S, Se, Te, Po). We know little about Uuh BUT we can make educated guesses regarding some of its chemical properties by knowing the chemistry of, for example, S. Look for the fluoride(s) of S or hydrides of O, S, Se to make those guesses. Here is the site.

Please help me find the highest hydride and highest fluoride of ununhexium. And please EXPLAIN how did you do it..I copletely don't understand how to do it.

I know that Uuh is in Group 16 and period 7..but what then?

Ununhexium (Uuh) is now known as Livermorium (Lv) with the atomic number 116. It belongs to Group 16 and Period 7 of the periodic table. As we know little about Livermorium's specific chemical properties, we can make educated guesses by observing the trends and properties of other elements in the same group (Group 16, also known as chalcogens).

For determining the hydrides and fluorides, let's look at the general chemical properties of the Group 16 elements. Group 16 elements form compounds with hydrogen called hydrides with the general formula H2X, where X is the Group 16 element. Thus, for Livermorium, we can expect the highest hydride to be H2Lv.

Now let's look at the fluorides of Group 16 elements. These elements form fluorides with the general formula XF6, where X is the Group 16 element. Thus, for Livermorium, we can expect the highest fluoride to be LvF6.

Keep in mind that these are educated guesses based on the chemical properties and trends of the elements in Group 16. The actual properties of Livermorium may differ due to its highly unstable nature and short half-life. The synthesis and study of Livermorium and its compounds have been very limited.
