The Periodic Table Of Cupcakes (PHOTO)

If only my chemistry teacher used cupcakes to teach me the periodic table perhaps I'd know the chemical behavior of Boron. Then again, my knowledge would be limited to "it's delicious." Which it is. (Via Neatorama)

Is it safe to eat the radio-isotopes?

Last week, we had the golden retrievers demonstrating how electrons moved within an atom, and now we have this very yummy-looking periodic table of the elements. Science is fun again!

University of Maryland, Baltimore County did this first! We made a periodic table of the cupcakes to promote National Chemistry week in conjunction with American Chemical Society.

it looks delicious, except if the cupcakes also possessed the properties of the elements they represent...i'm talking about you, arsenic.

TitaniYUM!
MagnesiYUM!

I could go on, but I'll spare ya. :p

I don't trust this science stuff. Those cupcakes safe? Who knows what'll happen if you eat one?

Become more noble if you eat the one marked XE or NE?

[incognito-ergo-sum]

XE is more noble than NE, you can find NE hanging out at every two bit bar in the country.

I'm willing to take that risk...FOR SCIENCE!!!!!

[Maddog51]

Delicious.

This would be the best way to teach Homer Simpson chemistry...if he didn't eat it first.

Someone ate Ununseptium (Uus)!

[Helanren]

Nope. That's a placeholder cup, waiting for the cake to be discovered ;).

[Doc0976]

Ahhh, ok. At first glance it looks like there are crumbs there.

I wonder when they will get that stuff synthesized so we can put a real cupcake in there?

I love learning new stuff everyday! Thanks!

It would have looked better on a dark background rather than the newspaper, but cool anyway.

[t squared]

Who did it? Why did they do this?

Very cool!

[ladyfractal]

I wonder if my honey loves me enough to do that for me. It'd look nice with the periodic table of elements shower curtain we have. :)

Cheers

Geek!

coolest.shower curtain. ever.

[solargroupies]

Hopefully this will help students digest chemistry better!

I just forwarded this article to my kid, who's studying for chemistry finals this week at college.

Mmmmm...tastes like manganese...
