Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
The latter. Mercury bromide is highly toxic. Its also a solid, not a liquid

Well, first it’s fire.

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.

Everything changed when the fire elements attacked.

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

Isn’t it wind rather than air? m.youtube.com/watch?v=2V_Xlci20eM

What about sub elements?
You have metal and earth, and then metalloids.
Elements with a lot of alpha or beta emissions are lighting.

What would be wood?
dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Earth? Wood comes from trees and other plants that both grow from the earth, and decompose back into the earth.

We’re getting into minecraft chemistry here

I tried to make a woodchuck rhyme out of that and have linguistically satiated myself

Sulfer should be labeled “hell”.
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Sulfur should be labeled Sulfur tbh 🜍
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s called Sulfer because it makes chemists suffer.

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.QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago

Personally I think mercury is more of a ‘wet earth’ hybrid element.
alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Toph metalbends mercury, so it’s definitely earth.
Gladaed@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Quicksilver and brom if I recall correctly.

Barracuda would probably be in Water.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ok, where are the fucking magnets
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
also beryllium should be candy element.

Reminds me of “Elements” by LemonJelly

classical elements refers to mechanical properties (solid, liquid, gaseous), it does not refer to chemical elements.
