Status update:

06/3- Placed second in the Periodic Density Competition #second #boss Congratulations to my homie Osmium

12/2- Got 10th in the melting point competition. Yippee (note the sarcasm) T^T :( #so #sad

9/13- Got the part in the Avengers movie!! They loved my physical properties, I mean who can resist my silvery goodness~ #actorindisguise #OhImFabulous 

3/13- At the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro with weird people... they keep staring at me!!

1/5- I'm up with stars....literally

2/3- All the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, now put your hands up! Beyoncé is my jam! #holla #singlepringles #pringlesarentreallysingle #sadsinglepringle

4/5- Overheard this guy, Antoine Lavoiser, talk about this new law... Didn't understand much, but he said something along the lines of: No matter can be created or destroyed......that means...IM HERE TO STAY MWAHAHAHA

Overview:

I'm a very hard, brittle, and slivery-white metal! I'm so cool, I have high melting point. I'm the most corrosion-resistant metal known!(I won that competition a long time ago) Acids and I don't get along exactly, but I can stand against them :P I'm one of the least abundant metals in the Earth's crust, because I'm just that awesome.

Information:

 Single~ 

Primary Relationship: 

 No one I'm a single pringle!! 

network: 

 metal 

valence electrons:

2
reactivity: Reactive with Platinum to make it harden

 London, England

 Avengers

Activities & Interests:

I make lots of crucibles, and love hiking with my best friend, The Compass. We're practically inseparable. I love chilling with my BMF (best metal friend) Platinum. At the moment I'm training him to be a tough cookie xP. I am an incancer irradiation, helicopter plugs, and hypodermic needles. I'm actually a couch potato because I am unreactive at room temperature. When I am heated, I react with Oxygen and many halogens.

 

Places:

10/10- Guys I'm on a pen!!

11/9- At Mt. Everest!!

2/7- The Galaxy!!

4/4- It's kinda hot in here... I'm here with oxygen, these guys are trying to get us together. Aca-akwarddd. Apparently our shipe name is IrO2 or Iridium (IV) Oxide

What is the origin of the name Iridium?

iridium said

at 10:00 am on Oct 29, 2013

I was named by the scientist, S. Tenant. My name comes from the Latin word, iridis. Iridis is the Latin word for rainbow!

Why would Iridium be used in spark plugs?

iridium said

at 10:50 pm on Nov 4, 2013

Technically I'm not used for spark plugs but an alloy of me is able to deliver good conductivity and extreme hardness. Therefore we can be manufactured with a small diameter causing there to a be a much lower voltage. With a lower voltage, there is less strain so less chance of failure, a larger gap which means a larger spark which equals more efficient combustion. Therefore we are a very popular spark plug choice!

What is the Alvarez hypotheisis and how is Iridium involved?

iridium said

at 12:54 pm on Nov 3, 2013

Two scientist Walter and Luis Alvarez found an unusually high concentration of me, and since I am very rare on Earth's crust, but abundant on meteorites and asteroids. They hypothesized that a large meteorite had struck earth's surface. The high concentration was found in 100 different sites all over the world, proving this was a worldwide event. The concentration was deep in the rocks, making the hypothesized asteroid impact date back to the dinosaur ages. Alvarez's hypothesis is the most known hypothesis to why the dinosaurs had gone extinct. I have already apologized to the dinosaurs, me and my buddies got lost, we were supposed to go to Mars. Whoops!
