It is very brittle and forms a volatile, toxic oxide species. One of its oxide species is used as a staining agent to detect fingerprints. It is added as an alloy addition to increase hardness for a product most of us never use - premium quality fountain pen tips. What element is this? Bonus Points - This element has the highest XXXX property of all of the metallic elements. Name that property. The winner of the quiz will get to put Clumpy to work for a week. So far Clumpy has: Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings - accomplished nothing (drank lots of coffee) Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM - conducted REACH material testing Week 3 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Inc. - Solderability testing and mowed the lawn Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich - had an epic journey of travel Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global - ????
