Thinking idly about Manganese (DON’T JUDGE), I wondered if there were other elements whose names end with ‘-ese.’

Google Search AI preview claims that other elements in the Periodic table whose names end ‘-ese’ include…

Fermium, Einsteinium and Promethium.

Painting a periodic table has been on my list of things to do for a long time. So, here it finally is. The first photo shows the luminescent paint for the luminescent elements. The second photo shows the mica paints I used for the precious metals and the crowns for the noble gasses.

Erbium [Er 068] is a lanthanide, a rare-earth element, originally found in the gadolinite mine in Ytterby, Sweden. A large variety of medical applications (i.e. dermatology, dentistry) rely on the erbium ion's 2940 nm emission, which is highly absorbed in water in tissues, making its effect very superficial making it helpful in laser surgery, and for the efficient production of steam which produces enamel ablation by common types of dental laser. #elements #periodictable #chemicals #erbium
