A mixture of mercury and bromine makes for a funny kind of water

The latter. Mercury bromide is highly toxic (I'm pretty sure all mercury salts are highly toxic). Its also a solid, not a liquid.
But mercury and bromine are the only two liquid elements at room temperature in their elemental form, which is why they're "water". One is silver, the other reddish brown and syrupy.
Look at western periodic table: lithium, hydrogen, helium...
Mmmh OK then

This comment scared the shit out of me...
My wall-clock was broken, and I looked at my phone and said to my partner "it's not 9:11" and then five SECONDS later I got the notification from you "it's not 9/11".
That is fucking weird...

I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that I can't look at an image anymore and not find some way to interpret the vague shapes as Saddam Hussein.

Had to look up the Water elements. They are mercury (Hg) and Bromine (Br), which are the only two elements that are liquid at room temperature

I posit heart would be carbon. Or the translanthanides
fossilesque in science_memes
Where is heart?!

Mercury salts are surprisingly non toxic when compared to organic mercury ☠️
perfect for pancakes!
Gallium should be water too
Only if your room is really really warm
Or mixed with aluminium
Well, first it’s fire.
Fun fact: did y'all know the Chinese Periodic Table, it has the type of elements built into the chemical symbols as the radical?

Like: 气 Air, 氵 Water, 石 Rock, 钅Metal
'Rockium' ? 'Airium'? How ridiculous!!!

Isn't it wind rather than air? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2V_Xlci20eM
What about sub elements?
You have metal and earth, and then metalloids.
Elements with a lot of alpha or beta emissions are lighting.
Some
Earth bendersGeologists can manipulate metal tho.What would be wood?
Earth? Wood comes from trees and other plants that both grow from the earth, and decompose back into the earth.
But they grow of air and water without significantly consuming the earth they grow in.
Yes, but the earth provides many nutrients required that cannot be obtained by air and water alone. That’s why farmers have to rotate crops often.
ah yes, the famous forest rotation
We're getting into minecraft chemistry here
I tried to make a woodchuck rhyme out of that and have linguistically satiated myself
Sulfer should be labeled "hell".
Sulfur should be labeled Sulfur tbh 🜍
It's called Sulfer because it makes chemists suffer.
They kept it off so captain planet won't come kick Trump's administration' ass. Just a guess.
is it just me or does it look like Susan Juan hiding spot?

edit: swipe to type let me down but it's funny so I'm keeping it
fire ntion attack
Personally I think mercury is more of a 'wet earth' hybrid element.
Toph metalbends mercury, so it's definitely earth.
If "Fire" is supposed to represent radioactive elements, quite a few corrections would be necessary.
Other than that, nice concept.
Quicksilver and brom if I recall correctly.
Barracuda would probably be in Water.
classical elements refers to mechanical properties (solid, liquid, gaseous), it does not refer to chemical elements.
Ok, where are the fucking magnets
also beryllium should be candy element.
Reminds me of "Elements" by LemonJelly
