I saw someone do this on Twitter and thought it was fun. I'll kick it off:

I'm ruthenium.

And I'll admit right off that I'll have to look a bunch of them up, heh.

(I hope to not offend anyone! Totally cool for those who don't want to participate!)

Silver going on Cadmium. Interesting.

Xenon. Supposed to have 5 levels of energy. I think I am missing a few.

Strontium.

Used to give a red tint to fireworks and flares, and also in a compound (strontium aluminate) which gives glow-in-the-dark materials their ability to absorb and slowly release light.

Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope found in nuclear fallout. Fun times!

I'm very noble (Xenon) for 3.5 more months and then I potentially become radioactive (Caesium). I hope the following year they don't have to "Barium"
