More Complex Radioactive Materials

    I would love more complex Radioative elements to use with experiments.

     

    Here are some,

     

    Technetium

    Atomic Weight   98[note]
    Density   11.5 g/cm3
    Melting Point   2157 °C
    Boiling Point   4265 °C

     

    Promethium

    Atomic Weight   145[note]
    Density   7.264 g/cm3
    Melting Point   1.1×103 °C
    Boiling Point  

    3×103 °C

     

    Polonium

    Atomic Weight   209[note]
    Density   9.196 g/cm3
    Melting Point   254 °C
    Boiling Point   962 °C

     

    Neptunium

    Atomic Weight   237[note]
    Density   20.45 g/cm3
    Melting Point   644 °C
    Boiling Point   4×103 °C

     

    Traces of neptunium have been found in uranium minerals like this sample, but not enough that you could ever see it. Neptunium is highly radioactive and has only a few exotic applications in nuclear research.

     

    Americium

    Atomic Weight   243[note]
    Density   13.67 g/cm3
    Melting Point   1176 °C
    Boiling Point   2011 °C

     

    A radioactive button like this is inside most smoke detectors. A trace of americium creates charged particles that betray the smoke. Americium is thus the only man-made element available in grocery stores.

     

     

     

    These are all quotes from here-

    If you could make more then the ones I listed, that would be great.

    Thanks for the quote, please look at the thread above and you'll know why there's something wrong with the information you just post :P

    I think most people would use common sense and look up the properties of these elements.

    The devs rarely add something with a suggestion thread that is pretty much copy and paste and lists little uses.

     It's sorta like a business sale. Do you just say "Here's what the specs are, if you want to know the uses and whatever you think is important, go online and find them yourself"

     

    Anyone can list specs of something. If you pitch an idea then back it.

    if boiling is there in TPT, the name of WTRV should be changed to VPOR (vapor).

    Wha..? How is that relevant to the question, and more importantly, what's wrong with WaTeR Vapour as a name for... water vapour?

    because we need a gas for other elements other than WATR.

    A general vapour element, although logical, would be a bit pointless — no elements other than BIZR, VIRS and WATR can exist in all 3 states, so a general vapour wouldn;t have much use.

    h4 Is actually right, we could make it exactly like lava, but in gas form, he's suggesting we should make other elements able to turn into vapour, simple.
    Turn Lava (XXXX) into Vpor (XXXX) at XXXX's boiling point, and back to Lava (XXXX) at its condensation point. Custom coloring could be a thing too.
