deuteron

A deuterium nucleus; namely, a proton and a neutron. It is used in nuclear applications, such as the bombardment of molybdenum plates to create technetium plates. With an electron, it forms the stable hydrogen isotope of deuterium or "heavy hydrogen", symbol D, atomic wt. 2. Water with both hydrogens replaced by deuterium is called "heavy water" (D2O), and is used as a moderator in the harnessing of nuclear fuels.

I swear that deuterons have somethingy to do with the book of Deuteronomy, 5th book of the Old Testament.

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

That stupid guy lit some hydrogen he mixed with some oxygen.

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.

Our map was in Spanish a few minutes ago. Now it's all in Latin, and it glows too.

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.

Scheelia took over the barbaric tribes of Nectady with their massive number of trebuchets.

red kryptonite

A variety of kryptonite created by Mr. Mxyzptlk that inflicts random physical changes in Kryptonians. Word has it that Mxyzptlk transferred a portion of his sample or stockpile to the obscure Internet user SonicDeathMonk3y.

Ben claimed that SonicDeathMonk3y's red kryptonite cremated his Pikachu.
