Answer:

Proton number of the supposed discovery debunked the theory.

Explanation:

Proton number of an element is also its atomic number.

For the element in question to have had a proton number that wasn't 119, it could not have been a new element.

Furthermore, the characteristics described (proton number especially) describe exactly the Germanium element.

I believe this was helpful.
