I consider radioactivity an illegal action in chemistry, it allows you to break all sorts of bonds without following the normal rules of chemistry. It should not be allowed in competitive play.

Saw a truck with 2810 on it.

Or most if not all chemical weapons :ohno:

also not specified organic toxic substances and weed killers, which would make sense given it was a box truck for a local garbage company that was probably hauling household waste from the dropoff site to a proper disposal center.

I mean, all the 2-letter nerve agents are also really good pesticides. Turns out anything with nerves can get its poo poo disrupted (to death, even) by loving with their PNS and CNS chemically.

OK, I just need some neptunium as a starter kit and.. uranium to build a nuclear reactor for neutron activation. Easy peacy.

(BTW the neutron fluxes on that reactor must be insane)

it's a tear gas, not something lethal, so getting them off the battlefield, washing their eyes and putting a blanket over them seems about right for treatment :shrug:

The red one is definitely from Lithium but not sure about the green. Copper, maybe? I haven't had to do a flame ion test since high school.

What the heck is a “loan” of a highly radioactive element? “Uh, here’s most of your californium back. Sorry it’s not the full 119 micrograms, but here’s some curium for your troubles”?
