I think that an element needs to be solid or liquid to be licked so a lot of those greens shouldn’t be. I don’t want to lick liquid hydrogen.
you can always try licking solid hydrogen
My first thought, especially since you can’t lick a gaz.
Now I’m also questioning myself about all noble gaz, what are they like in liquid (or solid) form?..
There are different reasons to not lick them too. Some of them will explode if you lick them.
which ones? asking for a friend.
The alkali metals. Starting with lithium, but it probably won’t explode, just burn. Sodium, potassium, and rubidium will explode from your saliva. Cesium and francium will explode just from the moisture in the air.
what’s wrong with osmium?
In contact with air, it can form the tetroxide, which is pretty toxic.
I wouldn’t lick Cesium
