Yeah, I looked at that one too. What about it?

[boris_73]

holy wept they sell francium, i want some

[Gilded]

"i can get 140g for £96"

 

A gram of cesium for under £2? Where on earth did you find that??

[boris_73]

and its only about £30 per g i definatley want some

[boris_73]

the website which you posted

[budullewraagh]

they sell ethylene perchlorate there as well. im deeply disturbed.

[Gilded]

"and its only about £30 per g i definatley want some"

 

"i can get 140g for £96"

 

Excuse me, am I missing something here?

[boris_73]

go to elements then click on the HG symbol and it says 140g for 140 euros which is £96.81

[Gilded]

Oh, so you were talking about mercury and I was talking about cesium. Case solved.

[budullewraagh]

who wants 9.03*10^10 atoms of plutonium-239 for 50 euros?

 

seriously, that place is insane

[boris_73]

Excuse me' date=' am I missing something here? [/quote']

sorry £30 per g i am talking about francium the 140g for £96 is mercury

[boris_73]

yes i was on about ceasium at the start but they didnt sell it but then i saw mercury sorry for the confusion

[Gilded]

Umm, a gram of francium would kill everyone within a couple of blocks with radiation poisoning. That's femto- or attograms they sell it (as decay producst, as you might understand).

[boris_73]

still you carnt beat the price of francium 1g for £30

[Gilded]

"they sell ethylene perchlorate there as well."

 

And what's that good for? I've never heard of it.

[boris_73]

what would you store francium in because there its been stored in a glass vial but if its so radioactive surley you would store it in a lead container

[budullewraagh]

um...it would decay before it got to your house anyway

 

"they sell ethylene perchlorate there as well."

 

And what's that good for? I've never heard of it.

 

well, imagine an organic perchlorate. think about it for awhile... it reduces SO easily it's rediculous. as a result it is an incredibly powerful oxidizing agent

[boris_73]

plus most probably increadably dangerous all organic explosives or oxidisers are dangerous. well why on earth do they sell it if it would decay before it got to my house

[Gilded]

*Sigh* How many times do I have to explain this?

 

It's like 0.1 attograms / gram of the substance within the ampoule.

[boris_73]

so its fine if its in an ampoule

[Gilded]

Yes, since it's such a minimal quantity.

 

"well why on earth do they sell it if it would decay before it got to my house"

 

As I already said, it's a DECAY PRODUCT. So, at every given moment, 0.1 attograms of francium exists for each gram of the substance in the ampoule. So, if you had 10 grams of it, you would have 1 attogram of francium at every given moment.

[boris_73]

so dont buy a lot, thats all that had to be mentiond

[Gilded]

If you lived in a house made of the stuff, perhaps then it would cause some harm then.

[boris_73]

if i lived i a house of the stuff i wouldnt go near the house especially if it started to rain:)

[Gilded]

If you mean with the rain thing the reaction of francium with water, it doesn't really matter since even in a 100 ton amount of the stuff, there wouldn't even be a visible amount of it.
