Yo, /sci/entists. what is your fave metal? mine is gallium.
>not knowing silver is the superior metal
>>7735780
Diamond, because it's the hardest.

i was only pretending
>>7735805
diamond isn't a fucking metal
>>7735805
Q-carbon is a harder metal.
*sigh* my pop said when I was a kid that "titanium was his fave metal". is he a normie?
oxygen is fav metal because u need it to live

OP here. Bi is a quite fantastic metal, but I just really like gallium
I like Co2 because its popular. Also i like trains but they arent metal after all :/
>>7735905
could you stop trolling, m8?
Lithium or Potassium, can't really decide
>>7735922
those are actually really good candidates, m8. my fave is a tie: the op's(who was me) fave was gallium, but caesium ties with it
gold
>>7735922
Potassium's more reactive, so I'd go with that.

But lithium is still really interesting
>>7735966
ikr. also, neat dubs
>>7735966
Nothing beats reactivity. Which is why I don't like the noble gasses.
>>7735988
No one likes the noble gasses unles its xenon hexafluoride

Vanadium Dioxide (protip, it's a metal!)
STEEEEEEEEEEL!

Only niggers, gays, Canadians, women and retards like diamonds.
Plutonium is the best element, by a country mile.

this
also i really like gold and ill pick it as my fav
>>7735804
I don't even know why I like silver but it's my favourite metal.
Osmium,
>>7735780
Aerospace engineer here, mine's aluminum
>>7736103
aluminum is really useful, but it's not very special.

Yes Gallium is the best!

Bismuth. Fuck yeah.

Fuck all of you, please leave right now.
Except >>7736060, you can stay.
>>7736324 doesn't count cause it isn't even real. Seriously fuck you.
And yes I know bismuth technically counts, but fuck you and your meme metal.

Iron up in this bitch.
It's a toss up between Vanadium and Stontium. Did you know that Amanita muscaria accumulates unusually large amounts of Vanadium, and Acantharia forms it's cytoskeleton from Strontium sulfate?

>>7736538
They still make these?
And haven't all the ones that were made stopped glowing?
Copper.

Apparently potassium is better because its "more reactive"
>>7736807
I can't imagine any place still does it with all the new technology that can accomplish the same thing (and better). Tritium won't shoot gamma rays at you.
You can always find them all over eBay/garage sales, though. Might even find a jar of extra paint if you're looking for it.
That's part of how that one guy built a reactor in his backyard.
And yeah, most of them don't glow anymore, but oddly enough they'll still give you cancer. It's actually the non-radioactive crystal that's broken down with time.
They're not really THAT dangerous. The factory workers had to literally eat the radium paint all day long to get immediate effects.
A lot of people expose themselves to worse stuff every day and do alright.
Mercury. The only metal liquid at room temp. And drinkable too!

Filthy plebians
Selenium
>>7736884
I'm guessing eating a banana every day would expose you to far more radiation.
>>7737167
>the only metal liquid at room temp
That's just not even accurate nigger.
There are at least 4 others. 3 of which exist somewhere in nature.
Cesium, rubidium, francium, and the already mentioned gallium.
>>7735812
Give that man a cookie!
>>7735780
mememium.
hardest metal known to man.
only discovered recently by the scientist Dr. Pepe.
>>7737247
That's actually not that bad of an estimate. Considering the surface area and the location, you really aren't getting that much gamma radiation at all.
I've heard estimates like >.1 millirem a week, which is way less than an airplane pilot would get from the increased exposure to outer space.
The usual banana estimate is like .01/week, but it's not really that cut and dry either.
The older watches (see: all of them) are obviously more of an issue because there's more to it than that. Radium's daughter isotopes can be pretty nasty, and if you ever crack the glass you're in for some fun.
Also it was the early 1900s so who even knows what they actually put in there. It could be literal poison.
Either way I wouldn't wear it around every day.
What about this fucker? Quicksilver deserves attention as well
Dragonforce, the hardest metal known to man.
>>7737345
Mercury isn't a metal, it's a liquid.
>>7737354
If you're not trolling...
>>7737380
back to your containment board, friendo.
>>7737392
Back to reddit with you.
You'd likely have said nothing if it was a hammer and sickle. I suggest you sit down and ask yourself why that is.
>>7737393
Just go back to /pol/, friend.
desu iron is the best metal
supernovae occur because iron is too fucking METAL for the universe to handle

Is... Is this a meme? We're too poor from paying for old people's pills and hip replacements to buy diamonds.
We make a bunch but we don't keep them. Just sell them to the Americans for use on their vagazzles.

Gallium smells pretty bad. What's so great about it?

>Gallium smells pretty bad. What's so great about it?
OP's amazed that it will melt in your hands, but also in your mouth.
carbon is my favourite metal
i'm an astrophysicist
>Francium, or the Modern Promethium
Not technically a metal, but NaK is pretty awesome. Who doesn't love a material that explodes violently when exposed to air?

Bavarium, since you can build super tanks with it.

Not that guy, but hydrogen is metallic under high pressure (and temperature?) go look in Jupiter's core.
>>7735780
Zirconium best metal.
Hydrogen is my favorite metal because it is the only metal that's purely theoretical.
When the conduction band and valence band of an element overlap, it is technically a metal. Hydrogen is the only element we have not been able to put into this state. It's pretty interesting stuff.

>>7739671
Well, we don't really know for sure if it really does exist in Jupiter's core. It's all speculation. We've never actually been able to study metallic hydrogen.
Assuming our models are correct, then yes there is a good chance it exists in Jupiter's core.
indium or gallium in play
