Slightly strange question here /sci/, but I was wondering if you perhaps answer me. What is the smelliest element? Alone, not mixed with other elements in a solution, or anything like that.

Define smelliest

I'd wager it's the one called "smelly"
as in Bromine

flourine would smell stronger

Fluorine smells like pain.

I can only tell you that the hardest element is diamond. It's hard to obtain thats why we dont have many diamond armors and diamond cars.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

i would think so, never smelled Fluorine but Chorine smells a lot worse that Bromine.

Smelliest with respect to the number of molecules or mass.

If you were to relax it to molecules, one of them would be "US Government Standard Bathroom Malodor", but I know that's not what you're looking for.

>> No.3924161

well, except that's not a molecule, it's more like 7 molecules.

Tellurium will leave you reeking of garlic if you come into direct contact with it. Apparently, if a person who has been in contact with Tellurium was in a room, you can smell it for weeks afterward (theodore gray)
