You know those bastards are waiting for the right time to use adamantium :v:

That's like saying an alloy is a new metal
it's not
it's the combination of old ones
Interesting indeed. I wonder what the elements characteristics are. Looking forward to hearing the name they decide on as well.
[QUOTE=ChristopherB;30384084]Why must it end in "ium"?[/QUOTE]
Because they are latin words, and latin words for things like "rocks" and "elements" end in "um".

I'm not sure if you understand what they mean. The atoms smash and fuse, making an entirely new type of atom, meaning a new element was created. It's different when you make an alloy of metal, because the metal atoms are still there as the same metal, as opposed to how these atoms have been changed entirely into new ones.
There are certain rules in Chemistry that will determine the ending for elements and compounds... I believe.
Such as -ate -ite- ium... At least thats what I remember from Chemistry class last year. It was all very confusing.
Oh also, those elements on the bottom of the periodic table are "Man made" and most (if not all) dissolve shortly after they form a new element.

You are kinda stupid. An alloy would be more like a new molecule. Pretty cool, but not nearly as special as a new atom.
[QUOTE=Stinky;30394751]That already exists :v:[/QUOTE]
Yup.

"So, Professor Gutenheim, what is this new element called?"
"Uh... um... It... i-it's called copernic... I... um..."
"Copernicium? Wow! Sounds sciencey already. Okay, back to you, Chris."
"W-wait, I-I-"
"Thanks Betty. That's it for tonight, folks. Up next: our 1 hour special on Fergie's crotch."
I wonder if these chemicals will ever have any proper use in the future.
please name one adamantium
Why'd they skip 116. I wanted to make a Call of Duty joke :saddowns:
And I just bought a periodic table a week ago.
Fuck.

Please learn what you're talking about before you try to sound smart because you're completely wrong in your comparison.

I'm not sure if you've taken Chemistry yet in school so here's the difference. Atoms of different elements are differentiated by the number of protons they have. What you believe is happening is two atoms are becoming joined together into a pair, such as breathable oxygen is O2, two atoms of oxygen (eight protons a piece) joined. In reality, the scientists have caused the two atoms to merge into one larger atom. If it were two oxygen atoms we would get a sulfur (16 protons) atom, an entirely different substance from oxygen. In this case, two atoms have been merged into an atom so large it is no longer a substance recognized on the periodic table, thus a new element is created. :eng101:
Oh no now we'll have to come up with a new table of elements song

Where's bad reading when you need it?

Because the first guy to use that format had a speech impediment.
