Dot class for radioactive materials?
The DOT (Department of Transportation) class for radioactive materials is Hazardous. The specific Hazard number will be determined by the exact name of the radioactive materials. Special permits and placarding are needed for vehicles carrying hazardous materials. The DOT class is categorized into 9 classes according to hazardous materials transportation. Class 7 is the general DOT class for radioactive materials.

How did radium and polonium get its name?
Radium got its name from the Latin word radius, meaning ray. The early studies of radioactive elements (by Pierre and Marie Curie and others) found that their photographic effects were similar to that of light rays. Scientists categorized the "rays" given off by radioactive elements by their reaction with magnetic fields. Eventually the positive "rays" were named as Alpha particles (helium nuclei). Beta particles were negatively charged (electrons), and Gamma rays had no charge.
Particles of matter are not created or destroyed. What is the name of this law?
This usually called the Law of Conservation of Matter, or sometimes the Law of Conservation of Mass. It applies to ordinary chemical reactions and physical changes, but not to radioactive materials.

What is a con to Ununpentium?
Well, to start with, that is a provisional name, and not the final name. It is a man made substance that does not exist in nature, only about 100 atoms of it have ever been made, it is radioactive, and very unstable- it changes to another material in a fraction of a second.
