Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer

Hi folks! Ok, here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer (I am heading out
for 
a week of whitewater kayaking in North Carolina so sorry for posting the

answer earlier than normal):

The Question:
This element is a potent neurotoxin - only 600 mg of the element sulfate

species will induce respiratory paralysis. The largest commercial use of

this tasteless, odorless element  sulfate species is an active
ingredient 
in poison. It is a soft, HCP metal and has an ultimate tensile strength
of 

only 10 MPa. The source of this element is primarily the  by product of 
Zinc production. The electronics industry is the majority user of this 
element but annual production is estimated to only 15 tons/year. Who am
I?


The Answer:
The element in question is = Thallium! 

There were several responses suggesting Arsenic but it has significant 
more production in comparison to Thallium.


The winner of the Friday Element Quiz is Bev Christian and Drew Meyer
gets 
honorable mention due to secondary research. My guess is that Doug is
now 
going to have a birthday on a Canadian holiday!


Everyone have a good weekend/holiday.
