#and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium :]

[triptychofvoids]

Very important question: are you able to sing along to The Elements by Tom Lehrer?

yes

[pleuvoire]

why do i suddenly have the tom lehrer elements song stuck in my head. i haven't listened to or thought about it in ten years

[viktorcocreatorofhextech]

Can you twerk? Also, do you know all the elements of the periodic table

For your first question, I do not know what that word means.

For your other question, yes I do.

THE IDEA

There are 118 elements in the periodic table. The elements are as follows:

Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Neon, Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon, Potassium, Calcium, Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Chromium, Manganese, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Gallium, Germanium, Arsenic, Selenium, Bromine, Krypton, Rubidium, Strontium, Yttrium, Zirconium, Niobium, Molybdenum, Technetium, Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Silver, Cadmium, Indium, Tin, Antimony, Tellurium, Iodine, Xenon, Caesium, Barium, Lanthanum, Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium, Ytterbium, Lutetium, Hafnium, Tantalum, Tungsten, Rhenium, Osmium, Iridium, Platinum, Gold, Mercury, Thallium, Lead, Bismuth, Polonium, Astatine, Radon, Francium, Radium, Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium, Rutherfordium, Dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Copernicium, Nihonium, Flerovium, Moscovium, Livermorium, Tennessine, Oganesson

There happen to be 10 categories in the periodic table:

Other nonmetals, Alkali metals, Transition metals, Post-transition metals, Metalloids, Alkaline earth metals, Noble gases, Halogens, Lanthanoids, and Actnoids.

Seeing as there are ten options max in tumblr polls, I have decided to make a tournament for every single element in the periodic table. I will give fun facts about each element when they appear in the tournament. When there are ten options left (one for each category), they will all go against each other in one final poll to determine the best element in the periodic table.

I am not starting right away but I will start eventually.

[ultradeduction]

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium

And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium

And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium

And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium

Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium

And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium

And gold protactinium and indium and gallium

And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium

There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium

And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium

And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium

And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium

There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium

And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium

And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium

Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium

And lead, praseodymium and platinum, plutonium

And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium

And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium

There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium

And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium

And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium

And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium

These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard

And there may be many others, but they haven't been discovered!

Now for another silly question for the Beasts: Which of the songs by Tom Lehrer is your favorite?

"There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium, and nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium, and iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium!

Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium, and lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium, and gold, protactinium, and indium and gallium, and iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium!"

"There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium, and boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium, and strontium and silicon and silver and samarium, and bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium!"

"Don't forget lawrencium, rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium, bohrium, hassium, meitnerium, darmstadtium, roentgenium, copernicium, nihonium, flerovium, moscovium, livermorium, tennessine, and oganesson, none of which had been discovered when the song was written."

"There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium, and phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium, and manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium, dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium!"

"And lead, praseodymium and platinum, plutonium, palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium, and tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium, and cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium!"

"There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium, and also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium, and argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc and rhodium, and chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin and sodium!"

They all turn to look at the remaining beasts.

"No."

". . ."

They all squint.

Dark Beast sighs.

"These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard, and there may be many others, but they haven't been discovered . . ."
