Chromium
02:58
|
|||
Chromium is a lustrous, brittle, hard metal. Its color is silver-gray and it can be highly polished. It does not tarnish in air, when heated it borns and forms the green chromic oxide. Chromium is unstable in oxygen, it immediately produces a thin oxide layer that is impermeable to oxygen and protects the metal below.
(Cr Atomic Number: 24. Atomic Mass: 51.9961 amu. Melting Point: 1857.0 °C (2130.15 K, 3374.6 °F) Boiling Point: 2672.0 )

Thorium
02:26
|
|||
Thorium is radioactive. It collects in living animal bones, including human bone, where it can remain for a long period of time.
Thorium is named for Thor, the Scandinavian god of war.and is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal found at very low levels in soil, rocks, and water.

Thermite
01:59
|
|||
Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder fuel and metal oxide. When ignited by heat, thermite undergoes an exothermic reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction. Most varieties are not explosive but can create brief bursts of high temperature in a small area. Its form of action is similar to that of other fuel-oxidizer mixtures, such as black powder.
(Fe2O3 + 2 Al → 2 Fe + Al2O3)

Leather
02:08
|
|||
Leather is a substance which keeps its properties unchanged for many many years, but it must be looked with care: it must be kept far from strong heat sources.
The properties of leather vary considerably depending upon the type and quality of both the skins and the tanning process. Every piece of leather has individual markings which relate to its origins and add character to each skin.

Carbon & Gold
03:50
|
|||
Carbon provides the framework for all tissues of plants and animals
Without the element carbon, life as we know it would not exist.
Gold is both malleable and ductile. Gold is a heavy metal (density 19.3 g cm-3) and one gram of gold can be hammered out into a thin sheet of gold a metre in area, and just 230 atoms or so thick.

Magnesium
02:42
|
|||
Magnesium is a ductile, silver-white, chemically active metal with a hexagonal close-packed crystalline structure. It is malleable when heated. Magnesium is one of the alkaline-earth metals in Group 2 of the periodic table. It reacts very slowly with cold water. It is not affected by dry air but tarnishes in moist air, forming a thin protective coating of basic magnesium carbonate, MgCO3·Mg(OH)2. When heated, magnesium powder or ribbon ignites and burns with an intense white light and releases large amounts of heat, forming the oxide, magnesia, MgO. A magnesium fire cannot be extinguished by water, since water reacts with hot magnesium and releases hydrogen. Magnesium reacts with the halogens and with almost all acids. It is a powerful reducing agent and is used to free other metals from their anhydrous halides.

Barium
01:57
|
|||
Barium is a soft, silvery-white metal, with a slight golden shade when ultra pure. The silvery-white color of barium metal rapidly vanishes upon oxidation in air yielding a dark gray oxide layer.
Barium compounds that are water or acid soluble are highly poisonous. Barium powder can ignite spontaneously in air.
Barium sulfate, used in x-ray imaging,
is highly insoluble in water, and is therefore nontoxic and completely removed from the digestive tract.

Adamantium
02:54
|
|||
Adamantium is a virtually indestructible man-made steel alloy which does not occur in nature and whose exact chemical composition is a United States government classified secret.
Adamantium is not an element: its properties do not qualify it for any know space on the Periodic Table of Elements.
Rather, Adamantium is a series of closely related compounds of iron created through a secret process discovered by the American metallurgist Dr. Myron MacLain.

Nickel
01:51
|
|||
Nickel resists corrosion and is used to plate other metals to protect them. It is, however, mainly used in making alloys such as stainless steel. Nichrome is an alloy of nickel and chromium with small amounts of silicon, manganese and iron. It resists corrosion, even when red hot, so is used in toasters and electric ovens. A copper-nickel alloy is commonly used in desalination plants, which convert seawater into fresh water. Nickel steel is used for armour plating. Other alloys of nickel are used in boat propeller shafts and turbine blades
Nickel is not very reactive. It reacts very slowly with the oxygen in air at room temperature, and it reacts very slowly with hydrochloric acid.

Kevlar
03:22
|
|||
Kevlar is the registered trademark for a para-aramid synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora. Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, this high-strength material was first commercially used in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires.
Typically it is spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such or as an ingredient in composite material components..
Currently, Kevlar has many applications, ranging from bicycle tires and racing sails to body armor, because of its high tensile strength-to-weight ratio; by this measure it is 5 times stronger than steel.

Cadium

|
|||
Cadmium is a transition metal that is easily cut with a knife.
It resembles zinc in many of its physical and chemical properties. However, it is much less abundant in the Earth's crust than zinc.
By far the most important use of cadmium in the United States is in the production of nicad ( nickel -cadmium), or rechargeable batteries.

Yellow Fungus

Yellow Fungus is really not a fungus at all,
but the "dog vomit slime mold, "Fuligo septica",
which belongs in the phylum Myxomycota in the Kingdom Protista.

Acetone
02:13
|
|||
Acetone (systematically named propanone) is the organic compound with the formula (CH3)2CO. It is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid, and is the simplest ketone. Acetone is miscible with water and serves as an important solvent in its own right,
typically for cleaning purposes in the laboratory.

Ribs & Resin

|
|||
Whether the Ribs are pork or beef, prepared Memphis- or Texas-style, few carnivores can turn down a tender and juicy barbecued Rib,
Because of THC's adhesive properties, a sticky residue, most commonly known as "Resin", builds up inside utensils used to smoke Cannabis.

Glucose
02:11
|
|||
Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6.
The name "glucose" (/ˈɡluːkoʊs/) comes from the Greek word
γλευκος, meaning "sweet wine".
Glucose is made during photosynthesis
from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.
The reverse of the photosynthesis reaction,
which releases this energy,
is a very important source of power for cellular respiration.
Glucose is stored as a polymer,
in plants as starch and in animals as glycogen.

|
|||
Papyrus is a thick paper-like material
made from the pith of the papyrus plant, "Cyperus papyrus".
Papyrus can also refer to a document written on sheets of papyrus joined together side by side and rolled up into a scroll.

And are present in ground and air samples.
These blood cells contain pathogens that act like sleeper agents.
These are binary weapons systems
