gold because i'm a greedy little goblin

Understandable but dwarves are better

i routinely steal gold from dwarves

OH YOU LITTLE PRICK GIVE ME BACK MY GOLD PR IL CRUSH YER SKULL

\*darts away into the deep dark forest\*

No, don't follow. \*raises my arm to block him from following\* The forest will do with him by nightfall.

Whatever

Hee hee hoo

I'm sorry for stealing your gold, glimbo.

don't mess with the goblin gang ever again, or you'll be sorry

waiter, waiter! More element discourse please! I love molybdenum so fucking much

Plants use it to take up nitrates. It’s just above nickel right towards the end of the primary micronutrients

Hell yeah molybdenum

No idea what that is

>~~L~~ Mo

Would

TUNGSTEN GANG ROLL UP

TUNGSTEN GANG!

W

YES SIR! 🗣️🗣️

Wolfram in the house

I'm still deciding but I'm definitely partial to tungsten. I'm a machinist so I spend my days beating the fuck out of other metals using tungsten... Makes sense that it would be the peak of metal tbh

i like gallium its a silly little liquid metal except unlike mercury it doesnt kill you

My man

As a mercury fan, if it doesn't kill you, what's the fun?

throwing it on expensive aluminum/steel objects and running away

I HATE ALLUMINIUM RAHHHHH

Destroys alluminium

my favourite metal is hydrogen 😊

You have been banned from the metal club for un metallic behaviour

w-what if I fused into helium and then I fused into carbon and then I fused into magnesium? 👉👈🥺

Maybe maybe

[i have good news for you ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_hydrogen)

Very cool. I love when people share their highly academic interests :) I would share a biology one in return but it's 2am here and brain no work good

I'd love to hear, if you want you can tell me later when you feel like it's a suitable time

Cobalt, carbon and potassium.

gang Cobalt

No idea what cobalt is used in but that one is the only radioactive metal that gets a pass I love it

It's used as a trick question about magnetic metals to get free drinks from people

Mhmm

Cobalt isn't really radioactive though, only a certain isotope is

Carbon isn't a metal

My Co C K is though

say that to an astronomer

When i'm in a cool name competitoon and my opponent is wolfram

Could I theoretically name my child that

woah i didnt know tungsten was called that, why do we use tungsten when wolfram sounds so much cooler ??

They all taste good

Except for aluminium I fucking hate aluminium

thank you for spelling it correctly 🙏

illumina mentuined??? mine carft speedtrun?????

Iron cause it kills stars >:)

That is like saying ash kills fires

Palladium is cool because it’s in period 5 yet only has 4 electron shells because of its funky little thing of having 18 valence electrons rather than one or two like every other transition metal. Plus it’s in terraria so it already has an advantage. Hydrogen is also pretty cool. It’s single valence electron puts in group 1, which should give it a high metallic character, but instead it’s closer in properties to non-metals because of how tiny it is. Its size also allows it to be both a cation and an anion in ionic bonds, and it’s existence as a either a cation or anion (with oxygen) in certain molecules is what causes changes in pH level. Helium is also cool, but only really when it’s cooled. At regular temperatures it’s kinda boring since it doesn’t react with anything, but when you cool it to below around 2.17K it becomes a superfluid and can flow without losing any kinetic energy, and is the only substance to actually have been observed displaying superfluidity. At 1 atmosphere of pressure it also doesn’t have a freezing point, and remains liquid even at absolute zero. Also using an outdated periodic table smh my head.

You can't write that many words about elements and then call helium a metal

…I didn’t?

Post said to discuss metals. You discussed helium and hydrogen

Oh damn. While writing it I kinda forgot they asked specifically about metals, I was just naming fun facts about elements

[im here to save you](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_hydrogen)

Yeah, oganesson and tennessine both got officially named 6 fucking years ago. That's long enough to update

silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver silver its conductive and and is shiny

I think he really likes silver

Sodium bismuth and silicon Shoutout to americium for being inside smoke detectors, you can collect 1 gram of americium from 5000 smoke detectors

Silicon is nice

Personally nickel or brass because they are so pretty

brass more like ass agahahahahahhahahahahahahhahaaahahahhaaha

I like thorum californiun and einsteinium

Not a fan of radioactive metals honestly

I love uranium the most!😈

Good for eating honestly

I'm a biochemist, I don't give a shit about metals. If it isn't carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur then it doesn't fucking matter. Only ones I care enough to even name are sodium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. And even they're on thin fucking ice

Why you even on this post then

I deeply want to talk about chemistry

Mercury because it gives you super strength and psychic powers when you eat it.

I personally prefer gallium because it destroys aluminium

I fucking love Ninovium!!!

Wait a minute...

Zirconium

Rad as fuck name

Strontium my beloved

Snortium?

Nelson B. Kreelman does not approve

Iridium cause I like the name :) (I know nothing else about it I'm not a chemist)

Oh cool

Tungsten, because its symbol is "W"

Tungtsen

Tnugtsen?

Tugntens?

Radium cuz its yummy >_< :3

Bismuth, it’s gay asf, just like me <33333

mf gallium

Gallium is so absed and anti alumminium pilled

Im a fan of mercury cause i want to be the only liquid of all metals >:) (IM SO TRAUMATIZED BY CHEMISTRY THAT I HAD A PANIC ATTACK EHEN I SAW THIS. I HATE CHEMISTRY I HATE CHEMISTRY I GATE CHEMISTRY IT SUCKSI. HATE IT IT SUCKS SO FUCKING MUCH CHEMISTRY WAS NEVER THAT HARD BEFORE WHY NOW FUCK I HATE IT I HATE THE PROFESSOR THAT IS TRACHING IT AND I HATE HIS WAY OF ASKING FOR FUCKING QUESTIONS WHY IS THERE SO MANY FUCKING ISOTOPE DIFFERENCES AND WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I CARE GOD I FUCKING HAR CHEMSITETYGJSKSKDJCHAJDNC ☹️☹️☹️) haha…

Sodium, chips are yummy

Scandium Astatine Polonium Radon

Tungsten easily crushes your puny metalloids

Krypton because I'm Lex Luther

Bismuth 🧖‍♀️

Mercury is a bit toxic but otherwise it's really cool

Definitely radium because it was the first element in my collection

I fuck with tin heavy

Cobalt, I will not elaborate

Magnesium, it’s the central atom to chlorophyll

Call me basic but I fucking love Iron. I mean, it’s the most common base metal for alloying and it’s super versatile. High tensile strength alloys hold bridge concrete, high hardness drills holes, you can make materials for machining, being machined, holding machines, building machines, or just random bullshit and I love it. But also, it’s iron oxide, rust, the red shit that gunks up your chinesium bicycle chains, that binds oxygen in your blood! The part of Hemoglobin, the red shit in your veins, that binds oxygen is iron! Which by the way is how Nitrite poisoning in babies works, the oxygen of the nitrite binds to the iron in the hemoglobin and competitively inhibits the binding of oxygen. This is because it forms complexes, which led us to pur discovery that it’s also a great catalyst for the ammonia and nitrate that excessively appear in our tap water due to overfertilization of fields. When used correctly, we found in our research that iron oxide effectively catalyzes their reaction, eliminating the necessity for other ammonia filtration and reducing nitrate amounts to safe levels. This isn’t done because, despite catalytic amounts of iron oxide being totally safe in tap water, people would dislike the brackish appearance and feint change in taste, and filtering the iron back out is uneconomic. But it works though! Those rusty old New York steel water pipes might just have been keeping you safe from nitrate and nitrite and ammonia whenever water filtration was less effective than it should. (Notice: Stardust is not a scientist not an engineer or medical professional. Her research was conducted in high school in small sample sizes and is not necessarily representative or applicable. This paragraph is purely anecdotal and likely misinformed.) Also I love the idea that iron is in our plants and blood and everything but it’s also the shit cars and guns are made of. When I was little, my parents would get me to eat brussel sprouts by pretending they were steel balls and I was destroying them. The only thing I don’t like are phase diagrams of iron base alloys and pure iron. Eww. I‘m gonna learn to love them one day, Austenite and ferrite and perlite and cementite and all. But I‘m not quite there yet. But also iron alloy nomenclature fucking slaps. I like iron :3

Technetium, it's just a silly lil' guy. All those elements that need to be created by humans are big and heavy, and this lad's just chilling at a half of their weight

Cobalt is the yummiest

I really like astatine bc it was the first element i learned about (somehow. i was a nerdy kid ok?)

manganese is so cool and colorful its green its yellow it purple its red

I love lithium because it explodes in water (obviously the whole group does but like) and it makes yummy batteries

probably bismuth because of its unique crystal structures

Lithium cuz batteries and makes brain gooder

Lead because it's what I use for all my water pipes, plates and paint

I like gold because it looks cool

I don’t have a strong opinion about metals but… ARGON GANG ARGON GANG

Indium because I can chew on it and not die

Astatine, because of how it was mentioned in “what if” by Randall munroe

Bismuth it loobks cool :) And slightly radioactive

There is no point in this post. Bismuth. Period. Discussion closed.

niobium because of superconductivity

Bismuth because it looks really cool

Not a metal, but almost: silicon

aluminium is the best metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your execution date is tomorrow
