Let's talk about Fluorine.

Fluorine is the most reactive and most electronegative of all the elements. SO BOW DOWN

This shit doesn't exist in nature in it's elemental form because it's so reactive but it will FUCK YOUR SHIT HARD if you attempt to RELEASE THE BEAST. Don't ask me, though, just ask all those stupid scientists that died trying.

Hydrofluoric Acid; put it in glass Pyrex it's like FUCK THAT SHIT and eats right through it. Iron? No problem. Lead? Fuck you.

Fluoroantimonic Acid; strongest acid know to man. You even think about touching this shit your whole family dies and your stupid cats. ALIEN BLOOD EAT YOUR HEART OUT. You can only store it in a Teflon container, which reminds me..

Polytetrafluoroethylene, aka Teflon; one of the most corrosive resistant and stable compounds known to man. Suzy homemakers reading this better check their panties. You can't fuck with this shit OH, I FORGOT, unless you have...

PERFLUORODECALINE; this shit DISSOLVES teflon. LOLZ, YOU NEED FLUORINE TO BEAT FLUORINE. Bitches. Oh, and you can dissolve a shitload of oxygen in this and BREATHE LIQUID. Well, at least until you don't die from carbon dioxide build-up. But FUCK YOU only pussies die.

Uranium Hexafluoride; you need this to isolate U-235 from naturally occurring Uranium to make an atomic bomb. Yep, that's right bitches, without fluorine all those stupid gooks would still be alive. HA HA!

LOL, FLUORINE FUCKS YOUR SHIT NIGGERS AND YOU KNOW IT

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 10 00:02:17 2014 No.6345884 Oxygen because it is in water and water is the best compound.

Beryllium.
>Light as fuck
>Respectably strong
>Even stiffer than steel
>Can turn squishy copper into a fucking superalloy
>Has a ridiculously high melting point and thermal conductivity
>Reflects neutrons like a boss
>Found in a wide range of precious gems including emeralds
>Preferred material for high-precision inertial guidance system components, and the motherfucking Apollo J-2 rocket engine
Rest of the periodic table, are you even trying?

Fucking lithium
Only element to provide net energy with fusion and fission
super high specific heat capacity second only to hydrogen
Excellent battery chemistries
light enough to float on water (which it burns when it contacts)
You can make good drugs from it easily

I fucking hate you osmium
fucking osmium tetroxide making me take precautions
fucking osmium so hard to dissolve in aqua regia
fucking osmium such high melting point
most dense (stupid) element in existence
fucking osmium fuck you

You know osmium price is mainly fluctuated by sapphires right, they grow sapphires in osmium crucibles. Gonna start making saphire phone glass soon followed by fighter jet windshields.

I'll bet you didn't even know half this shit about your "favorite" element.

fuck you osmium

fuck

you
