Periodic table is not based on temperature but rather at the normal stasis of the elements. Temperature would be unneccesary based on the fact that every element has a different set of freezing and boiling points. The two in question are the only ones that are listed as liquids.

Your first answer doesn't quite make sense, infact, it gives credibility to my question. Since you said room temperature - Hg (mercury) and Fr (Francium). Remember, several elements do not exist in nature, so there is no "normal" state.

number one. The element that are not naturally occuring are in a completely different table (at the bottom of the regular table). To state a set temperature would to undermind the question in the first place considering the fact that almost all of the element can be either liquified or vaporized. The question was what are the only two liquids on the periodic table. There are in fact only two listed liquids on the periodic table.

P.S. Francium is an alkali, it is not a liquid. It has also never been studied at room temperature. It share most of it's properties with cesium, potassium, litium, etc. Except for its extreme radioactivity, and its extreme instability. The longest lived isotope of Francium is only 22 minutes and was only a few atoms. This was Francium 223. I can even tell you how it was developed if you so wish.

1) The scientist named Pasteur. Can't remember his first name. It might be Louis, but not sure.
6) Penicilin
9) Jesus?

Just the ones off the top of my head.

Then, actually your question should have been: What two elements are listed as liquids on the periodic table?

I'm just being an ass [:p]

By any means, I am not a chemist but if you check out this web site it does list Fr as a liquid at RT.Period Table

It was louis Pasteur, namesake of the Pasteur Institute in France.
Penecilin is correct. It happened with and accidental innoculation of the penecilium mold being dropped on a culture pplate of bacterium.
Jesus could be the answer, but not if you don't believe in him.

Seeing as how the largest amount of the francium isotope ever studied was a few thousand atoms, there is no basis for the findings stating that it comes in a liquid from. At a few thousand atoms, it takes no form and can only studied as a singular atom, the finding that it is a liquid is based upon the energy produced, and other charcteristics of the francium isotopes. These finding have been rejected due to the fact that the way in which the isotopes were created, uses a mass amount of conductivity, speed, and heat. This in turn automatically rules out any theoretical statements that state that it appears naturally in a liquid form because it has never been studied in its natural form. Our class did some work with Stony Brook University when I was going to the State University of NY in Morrisville. Here is the website. They produce more Francium isotope than any other educational institution in the US.

4. Bubanic Plaque?
7. Doesn't chemotherapy kill all growing cells? Since hair grows, it kills it. Also, some patients don't loose their hair becuase hair didn't grow on the day of chemotherapy so it didn't kill it. I may be wrong but it's true about some form of cancer treatement.
8. I'm not sure, but I think it's I and Br, I is iodine and Br is broumine is something like that.

I just don't feel like going through my High School chem notes, so I can't say what's the correct answer to number 8 for sure.

Technically the bubonic plague was considered endemic to the continent of Europe after a while. It is the second biggest death dealer ever seen. Second only to smallpox. However, with the amount of time that it was around, how far it reached, and how many people it killed, it is not considered the most deadly epidemic.

Partially correct on the salute question. It is close enough to warrant a correct answer. It was actually a way to show the respect towards higher ranking officers and goes back to roman times. The salute was given to the higher ranking officer with the right hand showing a gesture of peace. Having the right hand the predominant hand for the sword wielding, If the higher ranking officer could see the right hand it was taken as a sign of peace. Seeing as how the easiest way to get promoted back then was to kill the one above you.
