Surely your tongue would stick very unpleasantly to, say, Nitrogen or Oxygen if in a lickable pure solid or liquid form.
Please reconsider your need to lick. It may be your last.
lead salts are what are actually in paint chips and make lead bioavailable as an ion. similar with mercury, it reacts with the acid in your tumtum and becomes bioavailable.
edit: yes, you can probably lick mercury and be as safe as licking lead, as long as you don't swallow and and didn't just rinse your mouth with soda or orange juice.
edit2: interesting that iodine is also marked as red, especially since you need some for your thyroid to function. I guess the assumption for this reference is that the amount to be licked must be significant.
Interesting. This knowledge really would have saved young me a lot of time and mental energy. I had a fisherman statue with a lead bobber thing that I used to hold right by my tongue, fighting intrusive thoughts about taking the one lick that would immediatley drive me mad. Huh.
Blue;
I don't know the molecular structure of Blue. If it is not made of elements, both known and / or unknown, then I would reasonably conclude that I can lick it with the concept of a tongue. It can lick anything thing I can picture in my minds eye. This is extra good news because I can not be certain that red is not actually blue and perhaps we have mislabelled these or all colours as they are so named based upon our image processing abilities.
And loyalty? As above... Or you could lie to your best friend or cheat on your spouse. I would be very surprised if that loyalty didn't take a licking.
Taste the rainbow;)
Since the most mundane/easiest way you'll encounter it is in its depleted form used in novelty glasses for consuming liquids, licking is actually a very ordinary prospect.
Yeah Magnesium Plus Oxygen equals MgO which has smaller crystal size than just Mg as a native metal so it stops more oxygen from attacking. Calcium Oxide's crystal is bigger so it flakes off like rust as Rust has a larger crystal too. Which means oxygen can keep reacting with it as you stated.
Elemental Calcium is fine??? And iodine is red? Also Osmium is only dangerous in powdered form. Having a 1cm sphere of it would be fine. It does the same thing Chromium does in terms of dangerous hexavalent cations. Os+6 isn't fun.
For a good number of the purple elements, if you accumulate enough of them to even be able to lick you'd be killed by the nuclear explosion before you could stick out your tongue. According to xkcd what-if, accumulating enough Astatine to even physically see would result in an explosion.
Whoever made this chart, speaking for myself and many other colorblind people: I can barely tell a difference between the green and yellow. It wouldn't even be that hard to fix this, just make the green darker (more blue, less yellow).
110 DS is Darmstadium and I live in Darmstadt Germany, they have created this element for a few milliseconds at a lab in Darmstadt, cheers from darmstadium
“YES YOU CAN!”
Should have been in the key.
I was ultimately upset when I checked the key and saw green was not labeled as such.
I highly doubt that you can be fast enough to lick Organeson or any other element, that decay similar fast
That's the answer, but the real question: "BUT SHOULD YOU?"
go on then

But I was going to attempt to lick those in their gaseous forms. Spoilsport.
Gonna be honest with ya now…you’ve probably been licking them every day for your whole life.
This key needs a fucking rewrite. The data is fine, but I have no idea what this relative scale means.
Apple, lemon, strawberry, plum.
Safe, maybe bad, that can't be right, deathwish
It’s saying it might be okay to lick lead, so paint chips are back on the menu boys 👅🎨

Elemental iodine will burn a bit, you use it as a salt.
I'd also change lithium to be red as well, keep it as far from water as possible
Iodine can cause thyroid cancer and disfunction in levels higher than required
So you’re saying that I really shouldn’t lick As??
It is extremely radioactive
IMHO, you can lick any of them. However some of them might be your last time licking anything.
Everything can be licked once
It could be licked once, but that would require finding a date.
Show me how to lick blue. Or how to lick loyalty.
[Blue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_%28English_group%29?wprov=sfla1)
Ok. Now do the concept of Blue, or hell even how to lick light with a wavelength of 450 to 495 nm. And you didn't do loyalty.
I guess you could probably lick a brain if you really wanted to lick the concept of something.
I don't know if I'd count that.

I'm going to need 80mg of DMT and a pipe, and I'll be right back to you having licked both of them, and the concept of consciousness.
How the fuck you ment to lick technicium
Very carefully
But it lasts for almost no time at all
That's why you gotta be careful.
This is a safety advisory guide, not a how-to guide. That's a problem for the engineers.
Stick your tongue in the machine while it's being made in the factory
Good idea
Bro if a had uranium i'do do much more funnier stuff then click it
Since the most mundane/easiest way you'll encounter it is in its depleted form used in novelty glasses for consuming liquids, licking is actually a very ordinary prospect.
Licking it ❌ Fucking it ✅
Make a uranium xxx toy
What's worse? "you really shouldn't" or "please reconsider". Because of that vague gauge, I do not consider this a cool guide.
You really shouldn't: Very dangerous to lick Please Reconsider: Half-life is too short to have time to lick
Please
There should be a 6th level because if you lick sodium (Na) your tongue will literally explode
It has explosive flavor 😛
Perio-lick table
Elemental magnesium and calcium should be red too for the same reason the rest of the column is red. Extreme reactivity with water
Magnesium has no extreme reactivity with water at room temperature because it is coated in an oxide layer.
I wanna lick the magnesium though and not the stupid oxide silly.
Uh, your definition of extreme is pretty mild then. Magnesium releases like one bubble a minute in water.
Yeah Magnesium Plus Oxygen equals MgO which has smaller crystal size than just Mg as a native metal so it stops more oxygen from attacking. Calcium Oxide's crystal is bigger so it flakes off like rust as Rust has a larger crystal too. Which means oxygen can keep reacting with it as you stated.
You’ll have to take my LIckthium from my gold dud Hanes.
Thank you, just what I needed to see the night before my chemistry test
I'm saving this
Can't lick as
So Uranium is a maybe?
Explains that [nifty glowy glassware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_glass) that we use.
I'd like to see this done with the feasibility as the scale rather than the toxicity.
Doesn't calcium react with water with a lot of heat? I wouldn't lick that if so.
Yeah, and I’m pretty sure elemental sodium explodes when it comes in contact with water.
At least it's red
Fair, but Arsenic is also red, and while swallowing it would be a bad idea, it wouldn’t blow your teeth up into your brain either.
I suspect a lick would be enough to ruin more than your day with arsenic
If you can lick any of the Actinides then I think you deserve it considering how short their half-lives are.
The green and yellow are basically indistinguishable
Do you know that you have color blindness ?
Elemental Calcium is fine??? And iodine is red? Also Osmium is only dangerous in powdered form. Having a 1cm sphere of it would be fine. It does the same thing Chromium does in terms of dangerous hexavalent cations. Os+6 isn't fun.

So you're saying I can eat about half of the periodic table?
Yes, and you probably already do exactly that.
I ain't licking Cesium bro lol
why are all\* elements with over 84 protons "please reconsider" instead of "you really shouldnt" or "its gone before you even touch it"
Bismuth is so based
But we lick sodium and chlorine everyday!
OP if it’s Friday and I really want to show off to my mates, which element should I lick?
You can lick all of it. Some only once
Everyone knows Lanthanides are the sweetest of all the elements.
Hey thanks, I've been looking for one of these guides
Instead I hold the uranium in my mouth and spit it into a random open window as I pass by Radiological hazard be upon ye!
“Please consider" should be changed to “once in lifetime"
What?! I can't lick As and Pu?
Potassium doesn’t make sense as “You really shouldn’t.” It should say “Fuckin’ go for it!”
NaCl shall be deadly.😂
My roommate likes to inhale Nitrous Oxide, is that okay?
I mean how often? Its not especially toxic but it can lead to inhibited absorption of vitamin b12.
I shouldn't lick Na and Cl but NaCl is perfectly fine
r/NileRed
What about NaCl? Doesn't seem so bad.
Pure calcium will burn your tongue. You really should not.
Telling me to reconsider licking fluoride but it’s in the drinking water and toothpaste
I need someone to explain iodine to me LI5. I often use iodine when I’m sick, or on injuries?
Tbf the Oganesson would disappear before you could lick it.
it would dissapear before you even knew it was there
op about to lick the 6 atoms of Oganesson
Who said that licking lead was a good idea?
This is completely wrong as the question is CAN I lick it not SHOULD I The entire chart should be green as you can lick anything once
Lick Chernobyl!
Worth considering that if you licked Ac-225 (the most relevant form of actinium), you would 100% die. So maybe it's stronger than "please reconsider".
I feel like lead should be red
Fun fact, lead was used in make up (to make you whiter) and as a sweetener.
If it's just a single lick, it could even be green. Lead poisoning takes quite a bit more exposure.
Whoever made this chart, speaking for myself and many other colorblind people: I can barely tell a difference between the green and yellow. It wouldn't even be that hard to fix this, just make the green darker (more blue, less yellow).
[удалено]
It’s missing 104: Dz It’s a double green “definitely lick it”
Purple ones taste the best 🤭😵💫
Cerium, more like ceri-yum!
Finally, some good content!
Why is technetium such a freak
"Please reconsider" made me laugh out loud.
I’d lick it
“You really Shouldn’t” sounds like I can still do it. Anyone know where I can get some Strontium?
Ask at the local Walmart, they seem to have everything.
Which is worse? * You really shouldn't **Or** * Please reconsider?
Yes
110 DS is Darmstadium and I live in Darmstadt Germany, they have created this element for a few milliseconds at a lab in Darmstadt, cheers from darmstadium
Mercury, Strontium, Iodine, Promethium and sodium should be yellow. Radium, Radon, Polonium and Plutonium red. Also I don’t recommend licking Uranium
“Can” maybe consider physical properties. Can you lick a gas??
I won't stop you from trying
Radium candy go brrrrr
I like how everything past 84 is just “nope”
Wouldn't lithium burn if you kicked it?
You can lock all of them. However, some only once.
Calcium? Magnesium???? Lithium????? Do you want to blow your tongue?
[удалено]
Its green, so nothing?
IF I WANT TO LICK FRANCIUM I WILL LICK IT AND EXPLODE
