Isn't that Sulphur?

Group one metals like sodium are spicy when they touch water. The further down the column you go, the more explosive it can be.

Tc will be discovered in 2028. It is below Francium on the period table. As inflation rose and taxation keeps hitting the lower class they discovered it in a food lab while experimenting with grade E meat. Thus they named it Taco. They first thought it was a bit like Potassium, but they found out there was no cesium in the picture...

I'll see my way out

Tc is already taken, it's Technetium and was discovered in 1828.

How about Tb (TacoBellium)?

Terbium.

Maybe Dt? (DelTacorium)

Suddenly the DT's have new meaning.

I don't know about sulphur, but sodium is highly reactive with water

Sulfur is also an element, it's not made of anything

EDIT: i guess you meant sulfur is dangerous when mixed with water. I thought you meant this forms sulfur.
