CosmicShard8002 he/him Posted August 31, 2022 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
Quantus he/him Posted August 31, 2022 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.) General Reddit 2017 (Jan. 2, 2017) 3
offer Posted August 31, 2022 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.

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.

The way I learned it, the second group (calcium and on) were called "alkaline earth metals".

CosmicShard8002 he/him Posted September 1, 2022 Author Posted September 1, 2022 Thanks, chemistry is not a strong suit of mine. Somebody should make an cosmere periodic table XD
18th Shard he/him Posted September 1, 2022 Posted September 1, 2022 I found this very amusing in light of this joke theory from 2012 I remember.
