Appearance and Characteristics
Tellurium is very toxic and teratogenic (can cause harm to developing embryos). Exposure to as little as 0.01 mg/m2 or less in air leads to “tellurium breath”, which has a garlic-like odor. Characteristics: Tellurium is a rare, silvery-white, brittle, lustrous metalloid.Tellurium improves the machinability of copper and stainless steel, and its addition to lead decreases the corrosive action of sulfuric acid on lead and improves its strength and hardness. Tellurium is used as a basic ingredient in blasting caps, and is added to cast iron for chill control.
Pure antimony metal is silver gray/white and brittle. Although actually a metal, like germanium and tellurium (of which more in forthcoming articles), antimony is also termed a metalloid. (A metalloid displays the characteristics of both a metal and a nonmetal.)
The word tungsten means “heavy stone” in Swedish. The chemical symbol for tungsten is W which stands for Wolfram. The name came from medieval German smelters who found that tin ores containing tungsten had a much lower yield. It was said that the tungsten devoured the tin “like a wolf”.
Osmium (from Greek ?σμή osme, "smell") is a chemical element with the symbol Os and atomic number 76. It is a hard, brittle, bluish-white transition metal in the platinum group that is found as a trace element in alloys, mostly in platinum ores.

The Ancient Egyptians used antimony sulfide as a mascara. Antimony is a semi-metal. In its metallic form it is silvery, hard and brittle. Antimony is used in the electronics industry to make some semiconductor devices, such as infrared detectors and diodes.
The element in Period 2 with most mass is clearly the element with the highest atomic number, Z , and that is Ne , Z=10 , 21.08⋅g⋅mol−1 .
Hydrogen is the lightest and most common element in the universe, consisting of just a single proton and a single electron, with the chemical symbol H.

4. The metalloids (noted by a * on your table) are Ernst (E), Highho (Hi), Terriblum (T), and Sississ (Ss). Sissis is the metalloid with the greatest atomic mass.
Unbiquadium, also known as element 124 or eka-uranium, is the hypothetical chemical element with atomic number 124 and placeholder symbol Ubq. In the periodic table, unbiquadium is expected to be a g-block superactinide and the sixth element in the 8th period.
Atomic number and mass number are always whole numbers because they are obtained by counting whole objects (protons, neutrons, and electrons). The sum of the mass number and the atomic number for an atom (A-Z) corresponds to the total number of subatomic particles present in the atom.
Occupational exposure may cause respiratory irritation, pneumoconiosis, antimony spots on the skin and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition antimony trioxide is possibly carcinogenic to humans. Improvements in working conditions have remarkably decreased the incidence of antimony toxicity in the workplace.
Antimony is even more toxic when inhaled as the gas, stibine, SbH3. Poisoning by antimony ingestion manifests as gastric distress, and large doses cause vomiting, and kidney and liver damage, followed by death a few days later.
Four allotropes of antimony are known: a stable metallic form and three metastable forms (explosive, black and yellow). Elemental antimony is a brittle, silver-white shiny metalloid.
Other examples include manganese, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, selenium, silver, antimony and thallium. Heavy metals are found naturally in the earth. Some elements otherwise regarded as toxic heavy metals are essential, in small quantities, for human health.
Facts About Antimony. Word origin: Antimony was named after the Greek words anti and monos to mean “a metal not found alone.” The chemical symbol, Sb, comes from the element's historical name, stibium. Discovery: Antimony was a known metal in the 17th century and was likely used even earlier.
It is basically basically the same battery with pasted plates invented by Volckmar and Sellon 120 years ago. The antimony strengthens the soft lead, improves adhesion of active mass and protects against corrosion.
Exposure to relatively high concentrations of antimony (9 mg/m3 of air) for a longer period of time can cause irritation of the eyes, skin and lungs. As the exposure continues more serious health effects may occur, such as lung diseases, heart problems, diarrhea, severe vomiting and stomach ulcers.
Antimony toxicity occurs either due to occupational exposure or during therapy. Occupational exposure may cause respiratory irritation, pneumoconiosis, antimony spots on the skin and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition antimony trioxide is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Antimony does not react with air or water at room temperature; it does react with fluorine, chlorine, or bromine and is soluble in hot nitric or sulfuric acid; at higher temperatures, antimony will ignite and burn in air. It unites with hydrogen to form stibine, a poisonous gas.

Beryllium is the element that is atomic number 4 on the periodic table. It is the first alkaline earth metal, located at the top of the second column or group of the periodic table.
The number of protons defines what element it is and also determines the chemical behavior of the element. Atomic symbol: The atomic symbol (or element symbol) is an abbreviation chosen to represent an element ("C" for carbon, "H" for hydrogen and "O" for oxygen, etc.).
Ununennium, also known as element 119 (or eka-francium), is the as yet unknown chemical element with atomic number 119 and symbol Uue. Ununennium and Uue are the temporary systematic IUPAC name and symbol, until a permanent name is decided upon.
