@fossilesque This table is not appropriate for superman
Superman’s weakness was kryptonite not krypton, easily confused.
That’s hilarious because me and my brother licked lead fishing weights for fun as a child. It’s probably why I’m retarded.
Can someone make one for suitability as dildo material?
Edit: Here it is, chumps
Magnificent!
awesome contribution
A nobel prize would be given to a lot more of those. Especially those naturally brittle or liquid.
I guess it’s only implied but any liquid is inserted as a solid - e.i. below its melting point. It’s assumed anything crumbly has a suitable binding agent.
A few of them are definitely wrong as has been pointed out to me but I’m glad we’re all learning about science!
Gallium would be an interesting suppository.
How is bromine “probably fine”? It should be in the rectal damage section.
Calcium should probably be in the “Ow, my ass” section.
There are a bunch wrong. Feel free to go crazy with it.
Edit: NEW VERSION IS UP Yay
Better, but still a few issues.
Promethium, radium, curium, and Californium are all radioactive enough to cause rectal damage. Conversely, I don’t think phosphorus (black or red) or selenium are reactive enough to cause much harm.
Thank you for your contributions to this
You’re welcome!
You can’t lick Titanium?
Titanium (22) is save to lick. Enjoy!
It is so safe to lick that it is used in dental and bone implants! Very lickable element.
Ahh I saw Tl and mistake it as Ti XD
I had to look it up as well ;)
That’s thallium (81) my dude, I had to check myself
I’m not sure if you should lick it though, id trust the chart
Haha I got deceived by l impersonating I (i) again
I did check thallium pretty toxic definitely don’t want to lick that, but gallium on the other might be ok. Plus you could probably rob a a bank with gallium. Gallium is my favorite element
How you could rob a bank with gallium does it have some special properties?
Gallium is absorbed by other metals. Even steel. And it makes them crumble. You could walk up to a door, squirt some gallium into the lock and the lock would fall apart.
Even steel? I thought it was only aluminum.
Ok so I’ve re checked. It is completely possible that the videos I’ve seen only use Aluminium locks. There are people who claim it does destroy steel and people who say it doesn’t. I don’t know anymore. I would guess that it doesn’t tho. Thanks for bringing that up.
Lick my As! You chemists can’t stop me from slobbering on every element.
The elements can defend themselves. You lick whatever you want, buddy.
I’d bump up cesium, rubidium, and probably potassium to “please reconsider”, as I would not want to stand near you
I always wanted to play with bromine. It looks so cool.
Why all the coolest things have to be toxic 😞 (broad life wisdom statement)
Please don’t lick elemental hydrogen.
Out of curiosity, what would happen if you do?
Nothing, because you can have only one atom of it. Multiple will just form molecular hydrogen H2. That one hydrogen atom will aggressively rip of another hydrogen of a molecule of water for example, but it won’t be noticeable.
In the hypothetical, if one were able to lick elemental hydrogen in its atomic, rather than molecular form, it would have a few potential effects. The one that would concern me most would be its aggressive reactivity, ripping hydrogens away from anything that it could in order to achieve stability. This would potentially cause tissue damage both from the deprotonation and shift in pH.
What would cause the shift in pH? The atomic hydrogen would rip off H· radicals, not H+ ions.
It would be more likely a secondary or tertiary effect. That is, H• radicals ripped away from their parent molecules would leave •OH, •R, and •RNH radicals. These are unstable and highly reactive, “desiring” to have that stable electron configuration. Likely, this will result in electrons being shifted to bring in more stable species, like OH-. Overall, we’re looking at effectively a deprotonation of the saliva, with extra intermediary steps to stabilize the radicals.
Interesting. Given that H• is a neutral species, what would cause the preference for the creation of stable negative species (freeing up H+) over the creation of stable positive species (freeing up OH-)?
Neutral as far as pH is concerned, yes. However, radicals tend to be very reactive due to their valance not being full. I am a bit rusty, TBH, as I’m about a decade and a half out of uni but, the best way to predict the products of the reaction is to look at the high-level of the equation:
H• (excess) + H••OH + H••R + H••N-R -> H2(g) + •OH + •R + •N-RAll of the products of the initial reaction here are radicals except for the H2 molecules. They all are going to further react to form more stable species with full valances, with possible exception being the molecular hydrogen. Because the elemental hydrogen is introduced as a radical rather than protons (H+ ions) in the solution, the final products are likely to be more negatively charged, neutral, and/or have some interesting hydrogen additions, especially in the hydrocarbons and amino acids.
For example, there could be reactions like:
R• + •OH + •N-R -> R-OH + HO-N-ROverall, however, the amount of free hydrogen/protons is likely to be reduced as they are effectively removed from solution as hydrogen gas.
Because the elemental hydrogen is introduced as a radical rather than protons (H+ ions) in the solution, the final products are likely to be more negatively charged
This is the part I don’t understand. If charge is conserved, why would there be a preference for a particular charge in the products?
But Lead tastes so good!
I wonder what metallic Sodium tastes like…
It tastes like pain.
It tastes like hot hydrogen gas (that will quickly mix with oxygen and taste like superheated steam).
If that doesn’t get ya, it would taste like sodium hydroxide, and also soap. (The soap is from the hydroxide turning the fats in your cells into soap.)
I’d say downgrade Mercury to yellow. Licking Mercury won’t hurt you as long as you hold your breath.
Having it close to your breathy parts is always not a great idea though.
CodySlab swallowed it
I’d sooner lick plutonium than mercury.
Edit: well, maybe plutonium oxide now that I think about it. Elemental plutonium is a bit too reactive
I’m gonna lick Ununennium and you can’t stop me
There aren’t any unun* elements on the visible table anymore; they gave them all names.
Ununennium is still hypothetical
But does this imply licking it in a “lickable” state? I have a hard time imagining licking a gas, and licking hydrogen as a liquid at -250 C or so sounds, not great.
One could say you are licking gasses right now
Depending on the quantity and the leidenfrost effect, you might be fine
My lead sandwich is calling to me
Mmm Pb&J.
I would avoid licking zinc. It’s a necessary nutrient but it doesn’t take much to mess your stomach up.
Lithium, Sodium etc. need to be upped to “please reconsider.” Calcium and all the lanthanides are also metals I would not advise licking because theyre very reactive. Promethium is especially dangerous due to its radioactivity with its longest lived isotope having a half life of around 17 years. So not only is it reactive, youd die to the radiation too.
Lithium is just gonna be a little fizzy like pop rocks. No explosions, thankfully. The LiOH produced would not be fun for you, but probably won’t hurt anyone else.
Lithium salts are used to treat bipolar. The metal isnt just reacting with the water on your tongue to create a very strong base (and lots of heat), you are also going to be ingesting that Lithium (as a lithium soap as it reacts with oils and fats) which can have different (unpleasant) effects on you depending on how much was ingested. If your kidney function is impaired, it gets worse.
