Fun with Chemistry
The next element in a table nobody really remembers has been found. Element 117 seems to be proving the hypothesis that, as elements get heavier from here, they will become much more stable. Nobody knows exactly what it'll mean, but I bet it'll be way cool.
Amber and I remember that table. Very well, in fact. I can even remember the properties of many of the different elements just from their position on the table. I'm betting Amber can do that, too.
Transitional metals, OTOH, are such a weird ass mixed bag that it's hard to say. They can take electrons, give them up, and something like 10 to the 23rd different electron states. I hate them.
