   As I understand it both Unnilpentium(261) and Unnilpentium(262) have been
   synthesized with isotope 261 having a half life of around 1.8s and isotope
   262 having a half life of around 40s.  I suppose most periodic tables
   show 262 since it has the longest half life.  Since I am not a chemist
   this is just my own unqualified opinion.  I am sure someone else could
   give a better explanation.
