The Periodic Table is definitely one of the most important inventions in modern science. They way it is set up, how easy it is to understand, and the information it displays readily is genius. It is also one of the only inventions that shows us what we are missing which means we can never stop searching for new elements.

I've always found Technetium and Promethium particularly fascinating. They're like the Missingnos of the chemical elements - atomic physics dictate that they should exist naturally, yet they've never been found, and trying to reproduce them has typically undesirable results. It's almost like a couple of elements were just "deleted", if such a thing were possible, and what humans have managed to create are more or less their glitchy remains.

I have personal experience with previously working with the alkali metals sodium Metal and potassium metal in my high school chemistry studies, and I can confirm from my personal experience of observing the reaction of sodium and potassium with water under safe controlled scientific conditions while sodium and potassium aren't as reactive as caesium or francium they are still highly reactive and readily ignite or violently explode on contact with water. As mentioned in this video how violently alkali metals react with water depends on which alkali Metal is involved. In addition to that how violent the reaction of alkali metals is with water also depends on the amount or quantity of a specific alkali metal is involved in reacting with water. I also worked with a small quantity of radioactive uranium ore during my earth science studies in high school.

To fully explain this, some background info is needed here: 1) In general, an element can exist in either 1 or more distinct "nuclear species" that we call "isotopes" or "nuclides", depending on the context. 2) Any particular isotope is considered stable/non-radioactive if it has an extremely long half-life (e.g. 10¹⁸ years) and no radioactive activity has been detected via experimental means such as direct observation of radioactivity (e.g. Geiger counter, cloud chamber, etc.) or indirect observation via detection and measurement of decay products. 3) If all the NATURALLY-OCCURRING isotopes of an element are determined to be stable, the element is considered (overall) to be stable. However, if any isotope(s) happens to be radioactive, but occurs naturally in extremely tiny amounts, the element can still be considered stable. An example is hydrogen, where one of its isotopes, tritium, is radioactive but is largely produced in nuclear reactors while naturally-occurring tritium is present in trace amounts in our atmosphere. 4) Elements such as uranium, whose isotopes are all observed to be radioactive, are naturally considered radioactive elements. Back to bismuth (finally!), it USED to be considered stable/non-radioactive, until in 2003, its only naturally-occurring "stable" isotope, Bi-209, was finally determined to be radioactive as physicists have detected α-particle emissions from it, even though its half-life is estimated to be 1.9 X 10¹⁹ years. Its other naturally-occurring radioactive isotopes have a very short half-life (e.g. ranges from μs to a few days), so it's still considered a non-radioactive element overall. As mentioned in point 2, bismuth, by definition, now failed that requirement and is therefore considered radioactive. Sources: 1) www.nature.com/articles/nature01541 2) physicsworld.com/a/bismuth-breaks-half-life-record-for-alpha-decay/

@@rakshithpl332 Practically speaking, your Chemistry teacher is right, because given bismuth's most stable isotope has an estimated half-life of about 1.9 X 10¹⁹ years and the fact that the researchers used a ‘scintillating bolometer’ at very low temperatures to detect the emission of α-particles instead of conventional ways, for all practical intents and purposes, it is still considered non-radioactive by lecturers when they teach it in class. However, from a technical and scientific point of view, it is considered radioactive. This is why science can be so confusing to people, partly because it (actually, reality as a whole) isn't always so clear-cut. We, as humans, like having clear-cut definitions and easy categorizations because they make everything easier to handle with less headache-inducing problems. But we need to recognize that strange things can happen, exceptions to so-called rules can exist, new things will be discovered that changes the way we understand things, etc., that's the nature of science or how the scientific method operates.

Good morning intermediaries, I wanted to tell you that I know the reason why children are kidnapped in the United States. Some foreign nations that are at war steal children and train them with weapons against their will and force them to do things they do not want to do. They are the nations that do not have a sufficient number of soldiers that send men to kidnap children and young people. This is one of the reasons why the majority of missing people are never found. This message is to alert you and if an international media would help me to transmit this news it would help hundreds of people. If there were a media that sent information about each missing person to each country in the world it would make a difference, and more people would be rescued.

Yes, it is dangerous (not only on its own, but that's for another day), but as with all chemical elements (or anything in general), anything in excess is usually lethal or potentially harmful to any living organism. Even breathing in pure oxygen (O₂) will kill you, that's why we can't survive under a 100% O₂ atmosphere, and instead (continue to) exist under a roughly "21% O₂ + 78% N₂ + 1% Ar & others" atmosphere. Chlorine is used for disinfecting swimming pools because while it kills harmful microorganisms in the water, it is also relatively cheap, easier to use/implement and has a so-called proven track record of working well. While other methods can be used to disinfect pools such as saltwater systems, bromine, UV light, etc., they have issues of their own, so considering these factors, chlorine is still the most widely used method.

According to Wikipedia: Thallium tends to form the +3 and +1 oxidation states. The +3 state resembles that of the other elements in group 13 (boron, aluminium, gallium, indium). However, the +1 state, which is far more prominent in thallium than the elements above it, recalls the chemistry of alkali metals, and thallium(l) ions … and (when ingested) are handled in many ways like potassium ions (K*) by ion pumps in living cells.
