Periodic Table of Elements Appreciation thread:

Post a picture of an element and give a phun fact about it

I'll start:

Ununseptium

created on April 10th, 2010 in Dubin, Russia, only 6 atoms of it were created and they were only that atom for 5 milliseconds

Fluorine

the most reactive and most electronegative of all the elements on the classic Pauling scale (4.0), and readily forms compounds with most other elements.

atomic fluorine and molecular fluorine are used for plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display production and MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) fabrication.


Btw; I never saw the point in making those supermassive & super-unstable 'extra' elements? Is it just because they can?

>> No.1627812

>>1627776
they are seeing if theory matches reality.
There's a suggestion that an island of stability will appear in super heavy elements. Stability of course being a relative term.

What are the chances of finding an "island of stability" in new synthetic elements? Maybe if we reach a point where we have the natural elements, only doubled in components, they'll be stable?

Used to paint watches to make them glow in the dark. Poisoned the women who painted the watches, because the best way to sharpen the paint brushes was to lick them.

It's my understanding that the "island of stability" just represents elements with half-lives measured in minutes instead of microseconds.

>> No.1627945

Well that's misleading. I was hoping for another table's worth of elements that didn't decay, or at least had half lives in the decades like the natural radioactive elements.

1 minute half-life is actually pretty goddamn high for a super heavy element. How does that 'wormhole-field' actually work, do you happen to know?

>> No.1627972

wormhole is trolling

if you're interested in this stability, it's called Magic Numbers, wiki it

it's comparable to how electronics of bonding are governed by closing shells which result in lower energy conformations. protons have shells that they can fill as well...

Oxygen (O)

fun fact: Oxygen is poisonous to many forms of microscopic life, but it was so abundant on earth that we evolved to exploit that as a strength. It's believed that there was actually more oxygen around during the time of the Dinosaurs, which helped them to grow as large as they were, simply because there was so much of it around.
