transactinide element
Any of a series of eight radioactive, metallic elements with atomic numbers that extend beyond the actinide series, those from 104 (rutherfordium) upwards. They are grouped because of their expected physical and chemical similarities (they are all bivalent), the properties differing only slightly with atomic number. All have half-lives of less than two minutes.
