Chromium
What is chrome yellow
A vibrant yellow compound, PbCrO₄, was historically used to paint American school buses.
Molybdenum is primarily obtained as a byproduct from the mining of this other metal.
Copper
having the highest ____ of all metals. (Bonus points to the one who gets closest value)
Melting point (3,422°C.)
Seaborgium is named after who?
Glenn T. Seaborg
What is FeCr₂O₄
The primary ore from which chromium is commercially mined.
Molybdenum acts as a cofactor for enzymes like this one, which helps detoxify the blood by neutralizing sulfites.
Sulfite oxidase
Incredibly hard compound, is used to make the tips of drills and cutting tools.
Tungsten carbide
Why does Trejito hate Seaborgium? (x2 if you know what he founds funny about it)
Because he doesn't believe in synthetic elements and The Rise of Seaborg after the Fall of the Titanic
What is the thermite process?
A highly exothermic reaction between chromium(III) oxide and aluminum powder.
The most common industrial method to produce pure molybdenum metal involves the reduction of its trioxide with this gas.
H2
The mineral scheelite is a common source of tungsten, and its chemical name is calcium tungstate. What is its chemical formula?
CaWO₄
What is the Automated Rapid Chemical Separation Apparatus (or ARCA)?
A method used to chemically identify seaborgium atoms amidst the reaction.
What is the correlation of Chromium with a ruby?
Chromium is responsible for the red color in this gemstone, where it substitutes for aluminum in the crystal lattice.
This zero-valent molybdenum compound, Mo(CO)₆, is an example of the element in a less common oxidation state and falls into this class of organometallic compounds.
Metal carbonyl
While its symbol is W, derived from "Wolfram," the name "Tungsten" itself comes from Swedish, meaning this.
Heavy stone
The most common isotope of Seaborgium mentioned has this mass number and a half-life of about 14 minutes.
Sg-269
Which are the three isotopes of chromium that are stable and naturally abundant?
Cr-52, Cr-53, and Cr-54.
Before it was identified as a unique element, molybdenite (MoS₂) was commonly mistaken for this common carbon-based mineral.
Graphite
The extraction of tungsten powder for the metallurgy industry mirrors that of molybdenum, involving the reduction of WO₃ with hydrogen at this high temperature
700ºC
What is the superheavy elements theory?
the scientific concept that a specific region of superheavy elements (atomic number ~114) may be more stable than others, with longer half-lives than their neighboring elements.
