Scheelia
The greatest NationState ever, led by the Grand Vassal, Jaroslav Al-Wolframij. It is home to tungsten buildings and monmuents, synthetic polar regions, and a military that uses trebuchets and soldering irons as their main weapons.
oxygen
don't forget 30 per cent of the human body :) it was once thought to be the common element in all acids, but that turned out to be hydrogen.
allotrope
one of at least two different forms of an element. Different allotropes of a substance often have very different properties from each other; e.g. white phosphorus (P4) is a highly reactive and toxic substance that glows in air due to its high reactivity and possesses a molecular structure, while red phosphorus (the stuff used to make strikers on match boxes) is a non-toxic substance that has a polymeric structure.
White tin is a shiny, electrically conductive metal usefull for plating cans to prevent corrosion, while gray tin is a semiconductor that possesses no uses whatsoever
Spanish
the fourth most spoken language on Earth (after body, Chinese, and what's-it-called). Because of its high saturation of words and numerous associations to the number 43, atomic number of technetium, it is considered to be a radioactive language, which decays by alpha-particle emission to Latin.
technetium
A silvery element, at. no. 43, symbol Tc, that does not appear to occur in the Earth's crust at all due to its radioactivity. It is the lightest radioactive element and is produced by deuteron bombardment of molybdenum.
