Was this something you learned on your recent trip to Canada?
Yonge Street, beginning in Toronto and continuing for 1178 miles to Rainy River, Ontario, on the Minnesota US border.
Damn, that's correct Moonie. Yes it was something I learned while there, we went on a bus tour of Toronto and the guide was strangely very proud of Yonge Street's claim to fame, despite it being the only grotty and cheesy part of the city.
Oh, and welcome to the Random Chat thread, we need your question now.
That must be the strangest phobia there is. It is the fear of being chased around a kitchen table by Timber Wolves on a newly waxed floor while wearing socks (!).
My question, why is the White House called the White House (and don't just say because it is white :v, it is a little more complicated than that.)
I didn't google this so I am probably way off base. I seem to remember learning that in the war of 1812 it was burned by the British and had to be whitewashed as a result.

Yup, that's pretty much right. British Canadians burned it and as you say it had to be white washed. The name has stuck ever since.
I was unaware that there was an element more reactive with water than Francium, I dont think there is!! Please enlighten me!
And no its upthrust
I think it's a trick question. The further down the left hand side of the periodic table you go, the more reactive with water the elements get. Francium is at the very bottom. I think it's a trick question!
I knew I brought my planner home for a reason: I'm looking at the periodic table in it right now, and Francium is the most reactiv element on there, making it the most reactive element. I has an atomic number of 87, that means inside the neucleus there are 87 protons, thos who know about atom structure (ie myself!) will be able to guess that one of these atoms is on its own furthest away from teh atom and desparate to leave and find another atom where it is more wanted so to speak, like a hydrogen atom!
I can't find flourine yet, do you know its chemical symbol? Or even better its atomic number, that would pin point its exact location in the table.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.

Flourine?
Name: fluorine
Symbol: F
Atomic number: 9
Atomic weight: 18.9984032 (5)
Group number: 17
Group name: Halogen
no no, that is not very reactive, I have just made a break through in my understanding of the periodic table, that is on the second row, therefore it is filling up its second ring (or shell) of electrons, its second from the right, therefore it is missing one electron on that shell, this means it is fairly reactive, it wants another electron, but its not as reactive as francium, with 6 full shells and one shell with just a single electron. The further away from the nucleus a shell is the less pulling power it has for electrons, and the more it can hold, therefore (for the last time!) it is desparately trying to get rid of this electron on its seventh shell, making it very reacitve.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
Reactive? Reactive?!!? I thought you meant RADIOACTIVE! Because of Jedi's poor spelling I was thrown off. For once he spelled a word right.
Well, most reactive element, I'd chose Sodium.
It reacts horribly in contact with water.
No no i have already answered my own question, the most reactive element is Francium, followed by ceasium, then potassium, then lithium, then hydrogen. I'm really not 100% sure about that, and I cant be bothered to check, but I am 100% sure francium is the most reactive element

Ahem, I had to check as I had heard that flourine was the most reactive element. This is by Nance Dicciani PHD who is president and CEO of Specialty Materials of Honeywell.
She states. "Fluorine is an element of many mosts: It is the most reactive of all of the elements, the most powerful oxidizing agent, and the most electronegative."
George W Bush may be the 43rd President of the United States, however there have only been 42 individuals holding that office. This is because Cleveland was elected for two non-consecutive terms, therefore is counted twice as the 22nd and 24th.
This one may be a little easy and keeping within Presidential trivia, but which President served the shortest time in office?

No its not, ask any sain scientist (not on the internet) Francium is the most reactive element, end of story! (no other atom is more reactive because of the way they are structured!!)

Just streets. For instance, the answer is ______ Street.
Yonge Street, beginning in Toronto and continuing for 1178 miles to Rainy River, Ontario, on the Minnesota US border.

Which Royal Navy ship did the Bismarck sink?

No its Francium

How many people have held the office of President of the United States of America. And its not 43.
I think it's a trick question. The further down the left hand side of the periodic table you go, the more reactive with water the elements get. Francium is at the very bottom. I think it's a trick question!
ok i got one what is the word for the technology that can make a cell phone that an ant could use?

That should help.
Well, most reactive element, I'd chose Sodium.

Well, with water anyway.
Anyway another question, this time I wont answer it myself!!
What do plant cells have that animal cells dont? There are several answers available, three i think.
Thats the first time ive had to use that knowledge outside of Biology class.lol
Who invented the telegraph?
Should be easy
She states. "Fluorine is an element of many mosts: It is the most reactive of all of the elements, the most powerful oxidizing agent, and the most electronegative."
Here is the link.

BTW, it is generally accepted that Sam Morse invented the telegraph, and the code that bears his name that allowed people to use it.
Now, back to my earlier question. How many people have held the office of President of the United States.
You said it wasn't 43. Hows that then?
I'm interested in the Presidents of the United States, so when someone knows the answer please explain it to me!
This one may be a little easy and keeping within Presidential trivia, but which President served the shortest time in office?
If I am right, which President won both the Medal of Honor and a Nobel prize?
Theodore Roosevelt is the only President to have won both the Medal of Honour and Nobel prize.
Returning to James Bond and again it may be easy, which has been the most successful non-Bond picture for a Bond actor?
If either of these is right, and keeping on the Bond theme, what did Felix Leiter do before joining the CIA?
No its not, ask any sain scientist (not on the internet) Francium is the most reactive element, end of story! (no other atom is more reactive because of the way they are structured!!)
