From XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2975
Fun fact: did y’all know the Chinese Periodic Table, it has the type of elements built into the chemical symbols as the radical?
Like: 气 Air, 氵 Water, 石 Rock, 钅Metal
‘Rockium’ ? ‘Airium’? How ridiculous!!!
Look at western periodic table: lithium, hydrogen, helium…
Mmmh OK then
All proper names are just old/dead/foreign language for the thing.
hahah
A mixture of mercury and bromine makes for a funny kind of water
Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?
The latter. Mercury bromide is highly toxic (I’m pretty sure all mercury salts are highly toxic). Its also a solid, not a liquid.
But mercury and bromine are the only two liquid elements at room temperature in their elemental form, which is why they’re “water”. One is silver, the other reddish brown and syrupy.
the other reddish brown and syrupy
perfect for pancakes!
Mercury salts are surprisingly non toxic when compared to organic mercury ☠️
Gallium should be water too
Only if your room is really really warm
Or mixed with aluminium
Well, first it’s fire.
Everything changed when the fire elements attacked.
Needs some saddam
It’s not 9/11!
Duuuudeee
This comment scared the shit out of me…
My wall-clock was broken, and I looked at my phone and said to my partner “it’s not 9:11” and then five SECONDS later I got the notification from you “it’s not 9/11”.
That is fucking weird…
We just vibin’. :)
I love this kinda shit
It’s just 9:33
I’m not sure how to feel about the fact that I can’t look at an image anymore and not find some way to interpret the vague shapes as Saddam Hussein.
Is that a Captain Planet reference?
Yee
I posit heart would be carbon. Or the translanthanides
Go Planet!
Isn’t it wind rather than air? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2V_Xlci20eM
is it just me or does it look like Susan Juan hiding spot?
edit: swipe to type let me down but it’s funny so I’m keeping it
Had to look up the Water elements. They are mercury (Hg) and Bromine (Br), which are the only two elements that are liquid at room temperature
They kept it off so captain planet won’t come kick Trump’s administration’ ass. Just a guess.
If “Fire” is supposed to represent radioactive elements, quite a few corrections would be necessary.
Other than that, nice concept.Sulfer should be labeled “hell”.
Sulfur should be labeled Sulfur tbh 🜍
It’s called Sulfer because it makes chemists suffer.
fire ntion attack
Personally I think mercury is more of a ‘wet earth’ hybrid element.
Toph metalbends mercury, so it’s definitely earth.
Ok, where are the fucking magnets
also beryllium should be candy element.
