Should this element exist, it would have an estimated atomic mass of 372 and estimated orbital configuration of [Uuo]5g186f28s2.
[edit] History
The name unquadnilium is used as a placeholder, as in scientific articles about the search for element 140. Transuranic elements (those beyond uranium) are, except for microscopic quantities, always artificially produced, and usually end up being named for a scientist or the location of a laboratory that does work in atomic physics (see systematic element name for more information).
