Another thing I noticed while reading Chris's elaborate April Fool's joke. He needs one more article only to notch a century. Maybe its time to start thinking of the next precious metal after platinum :) "Fortunately I had given him a false name" said Ukridge "Why ?" I cried amazed "Just an ordinary business precaution" he replied

Dilitihium is a crystal. :) -- Din mamma.

"...Technetium is a byproduct of the nuclear industry and is a product of uranium decay. Alternatively it can be made by the bombardment of molydenum targets with deuterium nuclei. Because of the scale of the nuclear industry it is possible to make quite large quantities of technetium (kilograms). The metal itself may be made by the reaction of the sulphide Tc2S7 with hydrogen at 1100°C or of the pertechnate NH4TcO4 with hydrogen." Okay, I found my ammonium pertechnate - gotta remember to order some more. Now where did I put those molybdenum targets; the sock drawer, or under the sink? Damn, I'm out of deuterium, but I think I have a canister of hydrogen behind the fridge... Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

If you don't hear from me for a day or so, it will be because I reguilt my server and something went wrong.:doh: Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

Hmm.. no. Metals can be in a crystaline form, but most aren't unless they've been engineered. If remember correctly, a metal can be pressed and bended without breaking, i.e. it's deformable. A crystal isn't. -- Din mamma.

All metals are crystalline in structure (in the solid phase). Only ionic crystalline salts are non-deformable. Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: It's not a salt, afaik. True. It's been a long time since I had a materials class, but the ductility is related to the type of bond involved, and the carbon:carbon bond has very high energy. Metals are crystalline, and the need for annealing after a period of working them is a sign of that. Working strains the crystals, making the material more brittle, and annealing it brings back the ductility by relieving the stress in the crystal lattice. Metal crystal structures are large enough, too, to be readily visible with little magnification. When worked you can see the grain markings, essentially deformed crystals. I have a great book, given to me by a retired photomicrographer I met here, of magnified images of metal samples that have suffered some type of failure - absolutely gorgeous!

I noticed that on the front page, there is only 8000 members to go and until 1 million is hit! This is a great achievement for Code Project. Back in my day when I joined there was only about 200 thousand... David M. Kean
