Kinds of accumulating oceanic element :

• aluminium (4 kinds, 127 facts) (Al, ²P_1/2 in ground state) - soft and malleable metal
• antimony (10 kinds, 198 facts) (Sb, stibium from latin, ⁴S_3/2 in ground state) - metalloid element with three forms. The metallic form is the more stable and is bright, silvery, hard and brittle
• boron (6 kinds, 146 facts) (B, ²P_1/2 in ground state) - Non-metal with several forms - the most common form is a dark amorphous powder, unreactive to water, acids and alkalis. Rare and fragile element. Nuclear reactions in stars destroy it. Most boron is created in space, by cosmic rays that smash into heavier atoms and split them.
• bromine (7 facts)
• cesium (5 facts)
• chlorine (7 kinds, 162 facts) (Cl, ²P_3/2 in ground state) - yellow-green, dense, sharp-smelling gas (Cl₂) which is a key industrial chemical
• fluorine (4 kinds, 133 facts) (F, ²P_3/2 in ground state) - pale yellow gas (F₂) which is the most reactive of all the elements, and is the strongest oxidizing agent
• lithium (4 kinds, 132 facts) (Li, ²S_1/2 in ground state) - Soft, silvery-white, metal. Lightest of all solid elements, third in the periodic table after hydrogen and helium. Its atom comprises one proton and three electrons. One of the electrons is at a higher energy level than the other two. Some lithium formed in the big bang, along with huge amounts of hydrogen and helium.
• magnesium (6 kinds, 140 facts) (Mg, ¹S₀ in ground state) - silvery white, lustrous and relatively soft metal
• molybdenum (5 facts)
• potassium (8 kinds, 177 facts) (K, ²S_1/2 in ground state, kalium from Greek) - soft white metal which is silvery when first cut but oxidizes rapidly in air
• rubidium (5 facts)
• sodium (3 kinds, 118 facts) (Na, ²S_1/2 in ground state, natrium from Latin) - soft, silvery-white metal which oxidizes rapidly when cut
• sulfur (7 kinds, 150 facts) (S, ³P₂ in ground state) - the α-S₈ orthorhombic form of sulfur is yellow
• thallium (6 facts)
• uranium (5 facts)
