you must now consume 10 cm^3 of an element of your choice from period 6. which element do you pick and why?
>>8179472
Gold. It wont kill me amd Ill have enough money afterwards.
>>8179482
/thread, was also going to post this. OP shoulda picked period 7.
>>8179482
you get approximately $8,324.75 from this according to
http://www.goldgrambars.com/calculator/gold_calc.php
and assuming elemental gold with none being lost
>>8179484
thought about 7, but then you'd either die of radiation poisoning or be vapourised by decay heat in every case
>>8179493
That's where nuclear chemistry knowledge with stability engineering for ingestion would have to come in, which I imagine is the funner exercise. RM topic?
>>8179490
Which is enough compensation for consuming it. Also Gold is easy to form so you could make little portions.
>>8179472
Cesium, because fuck life.
Astatine, it will be the largest quantity of astatine in one place that ever existed
>>8180895
>in one place that ever existed
Followed by the place stopping to exist.
>>8179482
Why not platinum would be more worth than gold
Gold. It's inert, and I can extract it from my shit and then sell it.
mercury
i want to end it all
>>8182158
I don't have the study or exact numbers off hand, but some dude basically consumed a stupidly large amount of elemental mercury for science.
Organomercuric molecules will kill you if you even look at them, but consuming this much of the element shouldn't actually kill you. Choose caesium instead and blow yourself into the stratosphere.
>>8182158
You can drink liquid mercury with no ill effects. You just shouldn't inhale the fumes.
Lead
Because flint
>>8182158
I'm going with Polonium myself
>>8179482
let's hope the gold all settles in one spot, causing localized iscemia and tissue death. it would be a shame to win so easily.
>>8182204
This can be arranged, comrade.
>>8179472
nihonium
because why not
>>8184595
Nihonium is period 7 faggot.
How would it be consumed? Powder? A block?
10cm^3 is pretty big, not trying to choke and die
Oxygen to do the big fart :DDDDD
Bismuth for free pepto bismol
>>8182166
>dimethylmercury the post
>>8182158
Elemental, metallic mercury actually isn't very toxic. It's only effectively absorbed by the body if inhaled in vapor form, or if bonded in organic molecules like dimethylmercury that make it easier for the body to take them up.
