  2. Unniltrium corresponds to atomic number 103 (11 for un, 00 for nil, 33 for tri). The official name is Lawrencium (Lr). This match is correct.
  3. Unnilhexium corresponds to atomic number 106 (11 for un, 00 for nil, 66 for hex). The official name is Seaborgium (Sg). This match is correct.
  4. Unununnium corresponds to atomic number 111 (11 for un, 11 for un, 11 for un). The official name is Roentgenium (Rg). Darmstadtium (Ds) corresponds to atomic number 110 (Ununnilium). Therefore, this match is incorrect.
