is simply the best-named element on the entire periodic table
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessine
it just rolls off the tongue so smoothly
What's your favorite element name, Boyah? bassir;
Francium
Molybdenum, for the opposite reason. It's like someone stuck a stop sign in the middle of that word.
molybdenum is nostalgic to me because i remember at one point having to write a poem about it in hs chemistry class lol
we were all assigned a different element, and that's the one i ended up with
oh god, i wonder if i can still find it

Molybdenum
Though to be lead
By the ancient Greeks
Until Carl Scheele
Found that it was unique
With a sample of molybdenite
And some hydrogen nitrate
Carl Wilhelm Scheele determined
That this substance was new,
And his findings were great
He called it molybdenum
After the mineral molybdenite
And today we are quite grateful
That Scheele disclosed the Greek oversight
For molybdenum is a useful metal
In various industries
It helps to make strong steel alloys
For use in factories
Its high melting point and density
Are just a few of its properties
It's also silver and malleable
And can be shaped with relative ease
Molybdenum is essential
For plant life to be sustained
It keeps foliage healthy
Including vegetables, fruits and grains[/spoiler]
i'm screaming

it's ok my brain won't actually let me read this
How sweet. A blast from your past. n_n
lol sillydood;
honestly chemics was probably my favorite subject in hs
i had such a good relationship with my ap chem teacher that we actually went midnight hiking together after i graduated, lol
