7/27/13 My friend Uranium helped celebrate my birthday. We had my party at a nuclear reactor today. It was fun. #my birthday
8/7/13 I'm exhuasted after work today. That took a lot of energy from me. #exhausted
10/10/13 Wow! Today the government used me to make a nuclear weapon. I'm not allowed to say the rest. #top secret
10/25/13 I balanced an equation today! I applied the Law of Conservation of Mass to get the same number of atoms of every element on each side of the equation. Then I balanced the chemical formulas by placing coefficients in front of them. If your wondering what the Law of Conservation of Mass is, it states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. That means when you balance the equation all matter is kept the same and no matter is destroyed to balance the equation.
10/29/13 OMG!!!! Silicon asked me out today! I'm so happy! Isn't our chemical equation awesome (Pu-Si)! Well Silicon and I are together now! #best day of my life

Overview:
|
|
I am a hard, brittle, silvery grey metal. I am pretty strong. The only thing i'm scared of is air. When I am exposed to air I turn yellow. I am solid under normal conditions and I am very reactive. I am a poor conductor of heat and electricity. I decay over time to other elements. That's why I have to enjoy life while I can. #yolo

Relationship Status:
|
I am in a relationship with Silicon! We are the perfect pair. Pu-Si is the chemical equation we form and we have a synthesis reaction. I just love the chemical equation we form together and the type of bond we create! We form a covalent bond! Who wouldn't like Silicon. Silicon even makes part of the sun and the iPhone! |

Activities & Interests:
|
| I love making nuclear weapons because it makes me powerful. I like bullying people and making them feel afraid of me. I also provide lots of energy to nuclear reactors when I am in a good mood. I can be generous and deadly at the same time! I am part of the reaction, synthesis. There are 4 types of reactions. Synthesis is a reaction in which 2 or more substances combine to form a new compound. Decomposition is the opposite of a synthesis reaction. It is a reaction in which a single compound break down to form two or more simpler substances. Single displacement is a reaction in which one element takes the place of another element in a compound. Double displacement is a reaction in which a gas, a solid precipitate, or a molecular compound forms from the exchange of ions between two compounds. |

Hello Plutonium, You speak decay. Tell me, which metals to you decay to overtime?
plutonium said
at 5:59 pm on Oct 29, 2013
I am very reactive with two valence electrons in my outer shell. I was created by uranium in nuclear reactors. I form when uranium-238 gains a neutron, which decays into plutonium-239 overtime. Neptunium-238 also decays overtime to form plutonium-238. Different isotopes of uranium and different combinations of neutron absorption and radioactive decay, create different isotopes of plutonium. Hope I answered your question!

Hey buddy! I react with air too! I call dibs on Oxygen btw.

You can have Oxygen! I'm in a relationship with Silicon now!

Hey hey hey hey hey Plutonium! Can you be in a relationship with me?
plutonium said

Of course Silicon! You finally had the nerve to ask me! I love how you helped make the sun and the iPhone! You are so smart and cool. The covalent bond we form is just amazing!
silicon said

OMG I am so glad you accepted. Now can you just ask me out on my profile page, so that I can actually prove to my reluctant MSU buddies that I'm in a relationship.

Are you radioactive because you are highly reactive?
plutonium said
at 7:37 pm on Nov 4, 2013
Yes Boron I am radioactive. I am radioactive because of the fact I am highly reactive. I give off rays of energy or particles by the breaking apart of atoms of certain elements. Uranium is also radioactive.

Your radioactiveness can never compare with me:P.
