Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz

Hi gang! Ok, here is the Friday Element Quiz:

The Question:

This element expands during solidification which is odd behavior for a
metal and a very active topic of materials research. This element has
the highest diamagnetism of any metal.  The electrical conductivity of
this element's solid phase is lower than it's liquid phase. This element
is normally nontoxic to humans but cases have been documented where
bacteria have converted pharmaceuticals containing this element from
water insoluble to water soluble compounds resulting in poisoning. This
element is produced as a by product of Cu and W mining.  Who am I?


Doug is on vacation this week so we are giving away is desk chair as the
prize.


Good Luck.
