The I wear this shirt periodically but only when I’m in my element shirt metals are named that because they form rocks that don’t dissolve readily when rained on. The alkali metals usually form salts that dissolve in water and are only found in caves or the ocean dissolved. Mostly true. However, if we are making exceptions, Fluorine is a special case in and of itself. It is not a good leaving group. So, let’s carve another spot for it. This post was obviously made to appeal to high school chemistry students. Once you get more into university-level chemistry most of the titles make sense. Though physicists playing chemist is a -pretty good category.
