It was common to leave that and many other elements out of the table and just have a blank square to represent theoretical elements… or those elements whose existence is hinted at based on those elements known to exist around it but which haven’t been actually seen by scientists. The element Ununseptim is one such heavy element. It was just recently discovered (circa 2009-10) and hasn’t been in discovery long enough to be declared or even to be given an official name and symbol. Until it’s discovery it was usually represented by a blank square. Obviously, this image was created during that time prior to 2009.
Neither was Copernicium, which was synthesized and recognized by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) in 2010. In this photo, Copernicium is represented by its original Latin place-holder, Ununbium, meaning “112 element”.
There’s a project the Chem teachers do at my old school that involves stuff like this. Every year each student makes a big table of elements and every year, at least one person makes it out of cupcakes or cake. Pretty tasty, if I do say so.
First
it is monumental!
nooooooooooooooooo
mmm, arsenic …
Everyone look at ununseptium :3
Lol, yeah: “om nom nom nom” – the cookie monster was here.

Its.
This may be a win, but the life of the person that took time to do this is a fail.
sooo…who’s eating the uranium one?
soo… who’s eating the uranium one?
with those, there are plenty that can kill you faster, and you spelled “Mendeleev” wrong.
The Chemistry Student Union at my university made the same thing for a bakesale. The Uranium cupcakes had yellow frosting.
The first time…
Eating Arsenic won’t kill you
Uranium is not radioactive
Everything tastes better than Sodium
This “Tc” cupcake tastes like artificial flavors and saccharin.
Now when someone tells you to “eat lead!”, you can gladly accept.
You’d think that if you spent all that time you’d want to take a picture with them on something nicer than newspaper.
My thoughts exactly.
I could really zinc my teeth into one of those. Don’t forget to save one for me…if they argon when I get there, I’ll be super pissed!
Don’t you mean, “Sulfur-Uranium-Phosphorous-Erbium pissed?”
ucwidt? the abbreviations are as follows, S, U, P, Er
lol
Not abbreviations, atomic symbols.
The ones for mercury and bromine must be kind of runny.
Must be an older picture, because I obviously hadn’t been discovered that time…

I assume the Uranium one will be yellow (cup)cake?
Hey, mom, can I eat this Arsenic?
You wasted your time making the periodic table out of cupcakes. None of the children will have any idea what it’s all about.
Who said it was for children?
my teacher had a pic with some of these… hmmmm….

I’m reading this while wearing my Europium shirt. I approve.
The only time you can eat cyanide and not have it kill you. :3
