Element 112 is one of the superheavy elements and its atoms decompose through the emission of alpha particles with a half life of only about 240 μs. Some research has referred to it as "eka-mercury".

Ununbium was first created on February 9, 1996 at the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. This element was created by fusing a zinc atom with a lead atom by accelerating zinc nuclei into a lead target in a heavy ion accelerator.

Ununbium is a temporary IUPAC systematic element name.
