Just because he died in the dawn of the era of modern fission research it doesn't necessarily follow he disbelieved in the previous manifestation of that branch of physics.[[User:Weatherlawyer| I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait]] ([[User talk:Weatherlawyer|talk]]) 20:53, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

:If the water in Aang's body (or the water he's bending) came from the Lohontan valley region of Nevada, then his body can have as much as .2 picocuries per liter.[http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/fallon/polonium_faqs.pdf] this is not enough to kill you or even get you sick, but if Aang is bringing enough water into this epic battle Mendeleev could pull a lethal dose from that. The odds that this battle is taking place in Nevada are probably on a par with the actual Mendeleev  the fictional Aang. {{unsigned ip|170.170.59.139}}

Sodium bending would have been much more spectacular, due to the water.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.202|108.162.219.202]] 04:19, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

  "2. Elements which are similar regarding their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (e.g., Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (e.g., K, Rb, Cs).

  3. The arrangement of the elements in groups of elements in the order of their atomic weights corresponds to their so-called valencies, as well as, to some extent, to their distinctive chemical properties; as is apparent among other series in that of Li, Be, B, C, N, O, and F."

Mendeleev was the inventor of the original periodic chart which looks nothing like the modern one.  The inventor of the Modern periodic chart was Glenn Seaborg.  Kinda sorta.  At least you would recognize Seaborg's chart as the modern one where if you saw Mendeleev's you would just go "WTF?".  OTOH, both Seaborg and Mendeleev have elements named after them and you do not.  --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.54.11|173.245.54.11]] 17:53, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Even though he never finalised it, it is pretty obvious that it was going to unfold exactly as he supposed it would.[[User:Weatherlawyer| I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait]] ([[User talk:Weatherlawyer|talk]]) 20:53, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I wonder which element would win? [[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.180|173.245.56.180]] 16:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that polonium is rare, so I will assume that Periodic-type Benders can create their elements at will. If so... Benders of transuranic elements or astatine would be terrifying. {{unsigned| OriginalName}}
 
 
 
He just carries some with him at all times, in case something like this happens. {{unsigned ip| 141.101.104.185}}

He only comes with polonium in the Radioactive pack, banned in China and Russia. Only $1999! If you're cheap though, buy the Extreme pack, which is just Nihanium and Yttrium. llol [[User:StillNotOriginal|Still<sup>Not</sup>]][[User talk:StillNotOriginal|<sup><sub>Original</sub></sup>]] 22:09, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
