Kinds of recycled oceanic element :

• arsenic (7 kinds, 161 facts) (As, ⁴S_3/2 in ground state) - a metalloid element with two main forms, grey α arsenic and β arsenic
• barium (5 facts)
• beryllium (8 kinds, 163 facts) (Be, ¹S₀ in ground state) - Silvery-white, lustrous, relatively soft metal which is unaffected by air or water, even at red heat. Rare and fragile element. Nuclear reactions in stars destroy it. Most and possibly all beryllium originated when cosmic rays smashed into heavier atoms in space and split them into lighter ones, such as beryllium.
• cadmium (6 facts)
• calcium (10 kinds, 185 facts) (Ca, ¹S₀ in ground state) - silvery-white, relatively soft metal
• carbon (5 kinds, 158 facts) (C, ³P₀ in ground state) - pure forms occur as graphite, diamond and buckminsterfullerene C₆₀
• chromium (9 kinds, 172 facts) (Cr, ⁷S₃ in ground state) - hard, blue-white metal which resists oxidation in air, can be polished to a high shine
• copper (5 facts)
• dysprosium (5 facts)
• erbium (5 facts)
• europium (5 facts)
• gadolinium (5 facts)
• germanium (7 facts)
• holmium (4 facts)
• iodine (6 facts)
• iron (8 kinds, 175 facts) (Fe, ⁵D₄ in ground state, ferrum = iron from Latin) - lustrous, silvery and soft or workable metal when absolutely pure
• lanthanum (5 facts)
• lutetium (5 facts)
• neodymium (5 facts)
• nickel (11 kinds, 190 facts) (Ni, ³F₄ in ground state) - corrosion resistant, silvery-white, lustrous, malleable and ductile metal
• nitrogen (5 kinds, 134 facts) (N, ⁴S_3/2 in ground state) - colourless, odourless gas (N₂)
• palladium (5 facts)
• phosphorus (4 kinds, 135 facts) (P, ⁴S_3/2 in ground state) - soft and flammable white solid, the red form is usually non-flammable
• samarium (5 facts)
• scandium (5 facts)
• selenium (7 facts)
• silicon (5 kinds, 138 facts) (Si, ³P₀ in ground state) - ultrapure crystals of silicon have a blue-grey metallic sheen
• silver (6 facts)
• strontium (5 facts)
• terbium (4 facts)
• thulium (4 facts)
• vanadium (5 kinds, 141 facts) (V, ⁴F_3/2 in ground state) - shiny, silvery metal, soft when pure. Resists corrosion due to a protective film of oxide
• ytterbium (5 facts)
• zinc (6 facts)
