Morphology

atomic + number + 107

The phrase is directly compositional: 'atomic' (relating to atoms) + 'number' (a numerical identifier) + '107' (the numeral) yields 'the element identified by atomic number 107'. A B1 learner who knows the words and basic idea of atomic numbers can infer this technical referent without idiomatic knowledge; the construction is cross-linguistically regular and not metaphorical.

Etymology

Atomic number 107 is like a name tag: atomic shows it is about atoms and number 107 shows there are 107 tiny particles called 'protons' inside. So atomic number 107 means the chemical element 'bohrium'.
