Copper It’s a good thing you Conduct; you’re so important ─electrifying─ 30. Zinc It protected iron And much more metal atoms Will it be guarded? 32. Germanium They say you can clean Lots of bacteria; tell me, Can you clean toilets? 36. Krypton Superman hates it But he has laser eyes, right? Lasers are KRYPTON! 42. Molybdenum Poor Molybdenum Always confused as lead; when Will you be the prime? 43. Technetium “Your Facebook profile Says that you’re artificial.” “I’m also stellar!” 54.

Nobelium And here comes the next The noble Nobel, though fake It’s so peaceful (not!) 104. Rutherfordium First, you are Dubnium, Next, you’re Seaborgium. Now you’re Ruther...

I wish there are More atoms to write!
