1: Most people know it by its colloquial name, ‘Hydrogen<\/a>‘, but in more formal settings, it is known as ‘Hyllodrogen’. These more formal settings are usually at ISM[1] meetings, where Hyllodrogen wears its classier allotrope, H3+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2: Similarly, most people are not aware that ‘Helium<\/a>‘ actually has atoms of multiple genders. The two most common are called ‘Helium’ and ‘Shelium’.<\/p>\n

3: ‘Lithium<\/a>‘ is more properly known as ‘Lilithium'[2], due to its properties of reacting with whichever molecules it wishes, ignoring the restrictions of others. It is postulated that this aggressiveness is what causes its therapeutic effects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4: ‘Beryllium<\/a>‘, or ‘Beeryllium’ was made up long ago on a drunken dare, but then was surprisingly discovered to actually exist.<\/p>\n

5: ‘Boron<\/a>‘ and ‘Boroff’ are two sides of the same non-interesting coin. Specifically, not interesting to stars in the main sequence<\/a>, as they have to wait for cosmic rays to make it.<\/p>\n

6: The name ‘Carbon<\/a>‘ comes from the Latin ‘Carrusbon<\/a>‘, meaning ‘what is left behind when you burn a vehicle’.<\/p>\n

7: ‘Nitrogen<\/a>‘ was originally dubbed ‘NitroGennifer’, after Daniel Rutherford’s<\/a> stage name. It is said that his bonding flexibility is only exceeded by that of his namesake.<\/p>\n

8: ‘Oxygen<\/a>‘ was a favourite of the ‘Oxygentry<\/a>‘, the name for the select group of chemists who did work on the Phlogiston and acids since ancient times.<\/p>\n

9: ‘Fluorine<\/a>‘ is the past participle of ‘Flyrine’, which explains its intense reactivity and corrosiveness.<\/p>\n

10: As we reach the foot of the second row of the periodic table, it is only fitting that we mention ‘Neon<\/a>‘, or ‘Kneeon’, so named because of the bend in early versions of the periodic table<\/a>, before the discovery of noble gases<\/a>.<\/p>\n
