CosmicShard8002 Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Sodium metal explodes in water. So does Harmonium. Coincidence? I think not!! Feel free to correct me if I overlooked something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 It's confirmed to be in the alkali group and behave similarly, but it is not literally sodium or anything, it's a magical alkali metal with similar properties. Quote Phantine [Question unknown] Brandon Sanderson So, don't consider [harmonium] magically-enhanced cesium. Consider it a magically-created alkali metal. It's going to share attributes with the alkali metals, and generally follows the trends of the others, save for its melting point. But in answer to your real question, atium would be a platinum group metal. (And platinum itself was my model.)

offer Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Yes, Harmonium does have a chemical properties like an alkaline (alkali? I am not sure how it said in english) metal. I don`t understand what your theory is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkali is the first group on the periodic table with sodium, etc. Alkaline are different, they are the second group that contains Calcium and magnesium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I learned it, the second group (calcium and on) were called "alkaline earth metals". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkali and Alkaline are not the same thing, but Alkaline and Alkaline Earth Metals are indeed the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicShard8002 Posted September 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Thanks, chemistry is not a strong suit of mine. Somebody should make an cosmere periodic table XD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18th Shard Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I found this very amusing in light of this joke theory from 2012 I remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
