Morphology

atomic + number + 110

The phrase is fully compositional: 'atomic' relates to atoms, 'number' indicates an identifying integer, and '110' is the numeric value, so a learner who knows the words can infer it refers to the element with atomic number 110. Knowing the specific name darmstadtium is specialist knowledge, but the basic meaning of the MWE is directly derivable from its constituents and cross-linguistically predictable.

Etymology

The noun atomic number 110 names the element that has exactly 110 protons in its centre, so the number tells you which element it is. It was first made in a lab near Darmstadt and is called 'darmstadtium', so today atomic number 110 refers to that man-made, unstable element.
