Prediction of the probable chemical properties of meitnerium has not received much attention recently. Properties of meitnerium metal remain unknown and only predictions are available. All known isotopes of meitnerium are radioactive with short half-lives. To date, no other elements have been known to decay to meitnerium. Members are cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir) and meitnerium (Mt). However, no atoms of Mt were detected, and this isotope of meitnerium is currently unknown. Meitnerium is also predicted to be paramagnetic. Meitnerium has no stable or naturally occurring isotopes. In 1997, element 109 was named meitnerium in her honour. Meitnerium is the seventh member of the 6d series of transition metals. In the periodic table, meitnerium is a d-block transactinide element. Meitnerium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Mt and atomic number 109. Meitnerium is calculated to have similar properties to its lighter homologues, cobalt, rhodium, and iridium. Using Mendeleev's nomenclature for unnamed and undiscovered elements, meitnerium should be known as "eka-iridium".
