Uses of Tennessine (Ts) in Everyday Life
From the Tennessine page's study notes: Tennessine (Ts) serves in disinfection, water treatment and everyday compounds. The full list, with Bangladesh examples, sits below.

Uses of Tennessine in the study notes
- A stringent test of relativistic quantum chemistry: predictions that tennessine’s electron affinity and bonds differ from iodine’s are a benchmark for theory at the table’s edge.
- The berkelium-target campaign that created it proved actinide production on the twenty-milligram scale — the enabling technology for any future bid at elements 119 and 120.
- Comparing Ts-293 and Ts-294 decay energies with theory tightens nuclear models inside the predicted island of stability.
- Its decay chains help calibrate the ultrafast alpha detectors used in every superheavy-element hunt.
Where you meet it
- Tennessine made Tennessee only the second US state on the periodic table — California named californium first — a favourite science-quiz fact.
- Group 17 in the NCTB textbook — fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine — now officially ends with tennessine, its strangest and heaviest member.
- The 2016 batch naming of tennessine completed the periodic table’s seventh row — newspapers on every continent carried the story, and table posters were updated everywhere.

Why is Tennessine important in Bangladesh?
The full study page connects Tennessine to Bangladeshi life — school labs, local industries, health and the NCTB syllabus. This quick-answer page is the fast summary; the element page is the full story.
Where will I meet Tennessine in the NCTB exam?
Questions on Tennessine's uses are a recurring pattern in Class 9–10 and HSC chemistry. The element page ends with six exam-style questions in both languages — practise those and this pattern stops costing marks.
