You thus have an artistic license to just handwave the element's position in the table and such since they are not important to the enjoyment of the story. (FWIW, it doesn't even have to be an element since for all intents and purposes, it's a new substance.) Moreover, you'll probably have to do that to justify its Unobtainium status: ... | |
