    I never thought to think bromine is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure, nor that it was one of only 2. Mostly thought to keep it at a safe distance.

      Gallium is pretty close. On a hot day it’d be liquid. But not most of the time in most places.

    Aren’t all elements after Uranium radioactive? I expected a larger “fire” area.

      According to a comment on explainxkcd it’s half-life under 1 day for “fire”.

      Afaik, Quintessence in medieval alchemy was a very pure alcohol (although they believed that by distilling it many times, they were in fact isolating this pure, heavenly element), so not something that can be put in the periodic table.
