Well I will have to agree with James, but you sure haven't given us much to
go on, Dave.
IF the theory that the moon was once part of the earth, then all but
untrapped gases would still be there, so that doesn't help. The bit about
catching on fire and not being able to put it out with water or CO2 could
apply to any alkali or alkaline earth or aluminum or phosphorus. But I
think this may also apply to many other metals with very thermodynamically
stable oxides.
My old 1962 hard bound Encylopedia Britannia (trying to abide by the no
Google rule) talks about "strong bands with sharp edges on the red side
caused by titanium oxide" for M class stars. But the volume with titanium
in it only talks about titanium burning in dry chlorine gas. Hmm. You
didn't say burn in what.
Well, I still agree with James.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Question
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question (it is late due to APEX
travel issues):
The Question:
This element is found on the moon. If this element catches fire, water or
CO2 extinguishers will not put it out. This element's oxide is found in type
M stars. What element is being described?
The winner of the weekly element quiz will get the services of Clumpy and
Kloumpios for the week.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems
- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived and were happy to get some warm weather.
Saturday they helped rake leaves (yes it's fall in Tampa) then went to the
Florida State Fair. They seemed most interested in some of the new
tractors, muttering something about the closed cab would be a more
comfortable ride, but they also took advantage of the opportunity for Fair
food. I couldn't believe how much deep fried food they ate - Snickers,
butter, burgers, ..., you name it. Yesterday they didn't feel good so
just sat around in the sun most of the day. This week I'm going to pick
their brains on how to improve our ECN implementation process. If they
can't contribute much I'll send them back to the fair as sort of a winter
vacation.
Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC
- assisted with ????
Week 3 ????
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week!
