   tungsten is as dense as gold? thought it was more like lead
   truly a metal

     @piggo @chjara there's actually no stable isotope of tungsten iirc, just decays insanely slow

     actually i guess tungsten is in the "really dense for some reason" part of the periodic table

     @snacks @piggo all elements lighter than bismuth except technetium and promethium are stable (and all elements heavier than lead are radioactive), bismuth is the one that's radioactive but for all intents and purposes stable

     @chjara @piggo oh yeah, seems i got something mixed up. There's a very slowly decaying isotope of tungsten but that's the only unstable one
