There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Heavy metal element#Requested move 19 November 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Raladic (talk) 19:17, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Boron has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:40, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking over some of the old references, and noticed some oxidation states have been stated by observation from pulse radiolysis studies, such as

Kläning, Ulrik K.; Sehested, K. (1986). "Selenium(V). A pulse radiolysis study". Inorganic Chemistry. 90 (21): 5460–4. doi:10.1021/j100412a112.

Should these be included in the list of oxidation states? Keres🌕Luna ^edits! 03:02, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Once I'm finished updating all of the isotope tables, I had the idea of creating a unified template to codify the table entries. It would uniformize the tables in a format that is easier to edit, and would allow extended capabilities such as sorting for the half-life table (using converted value in a common unit, as explained in this MOS talk). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:16, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting the half-lives is possible, but the list will be weird because the rows will be split. For example, a nuclide with 3 decay modes will be split into 3 rows after sorting the half-lives. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 11:49, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should be OK: for nuclides with multiple decay modes, each decay mode is allocated the nuclide's half-life, rather than the decay mode's partial half-life. E.g. see Isotopes of helium. Preimage (talk) 13:18, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Radon_and_Radium_spectral_lines it was discovere that all of the spectral lines in elements articles are poorly sourced and wrong. They recommended creating fresh new images from the NIST Atomic Spectra database, and replacing across all wikis. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:56, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Hydrogen for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 03:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The infobar for Hydrogen conflicts with the article regarding the "discovery". I attempted to fix it but my change was reverted. Please weigh in on Talk:Hydrogen#Discovery_in_article_vs_template. Johnjbarton (talk) 17:06, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
