Pretty hard to destroy an element, but Arsenic is kinda dud.

I hope whoever discovered Molybdenum was proud of himself

Someone had some real nerve to name an element "Gd"

The fab four: Yttrium, Ytterbium, Terbium, Erbium

Ytterby immortalised

Gd is gadolinium, which has been revolutionary in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because it shortens the spin-lattice relaxation time (transferring of the energy of a molecule's nuclear spin to neighboring molecules) in certain places in the body after it has been injected, resulting in brighter signal and highlighting lesions including inflammation and tumors

Always have time for some noble gases

Also kind of presumptuous to call yourself "noble" tbh. Bet the other gases hate those blokes.

That was Hugo Erdmann

Low reactivity is a desirable trait imho

underminer of twenty years of excellent contribution to this borad (dan m), Sunday, 28 April 2024 00:06 (one year ago)

agree with that

Dan S, Sunday, 28 April 2024 00:10 (one year ago)

but Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the most important to life on Earth

Dan S, Sunday, 28 April 2024 00:16 (one year ago)

with Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Chlorine not far behind

I was shit at chemistry in school but always admired this guy who grew up in a town 100 miles down the road from mine

Helium slays close thread

calstars, Sunday, 28 April 2024 00:21 (one year ago)

helium does slay tbh

my dad was a research chemist; i had one of these (by my fervent request, not his prompting) hanging in my childhood room

needless to say i ended up majoring in history and have forgotten nearly everything about the table

I'm on team xenon. How can an unreactive inert gas be an anaesthetic? Nobody knows.

thulium

nice

Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 28 April 2024 02:31 (one year ago)

it's maybe not a good idea to lick P

look at this, it's a clickbait video about thulium

i'm not sure the headline is even right, wikipedia says it's only the _second_ rarest of the rare earth metals

Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 28 April 2024 02:37 (one year ago)

shoutout heavy metals

werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 28 April 2024 02:38 (one year ago)

s: cesium
d: desistium
