Day 19: Potassium!

The catto du jour has given me another excuse to draw my favorite catto pair. I'd like to provide a few reasons as to why NaK is the best ship on the entire table. Have a very alkaline Christmas everyone.

Na & K looks exactly the same irl. They are both soft greyish metal that oxidizes quickly upon air contact. If you mix em' up it's gonna be hard to tell them apart.

They have very similar chemical properties, to the point they are almost interchangeable in most reactions. Like in all the mnemonic I've memorized in school, they are right next to each other. E.g. electronegativity, reactivity, precipitation.

Na & K smushed together forms an alloy/amalgam called NaK (duh) which is a liquid. It's cool as hell

In biology, cells would pump their ions so that Na+ is more concentrated outside and K+ inside. Being able to selectively let them pass on demand is how your body can do cool stuff like transmitting neural signals, muscle contraction, and regulate heartbeat.

They both have symbols that don't match their English name, which is rare

I mean Potassium literally lives one floor below Sodium on the table. That's a classic setup in all fiction come on

Salted fried banana is goated food

I guess I've always shipped them even before finding this fandom lol. Thank you for coming to my TED talk (Yes I drew the entire alkali roster just to justify drawing my NaK ship)

NASA’s Cold Atom Lab is creating one of the weirdest forms of matter in space

NASA's upgraded Cold Atom Lab is back in operation aboard the International Space Station, giving researchers a powerful new way to investigate the fundamental nature of matter and advance the development of future quantum technologies. Taking advantage of the station's microgravity environment, the facility enables experiments that cannot be performed on Earth. Quantum science focuses on the behavior of matter and energy at extremely small scales, including atoms, electrons, and particles of light. Although atoms are often pictured as tiny balls colliding with one another, the quantum world is far stranger. Atoms can behave like waves, appear in multiple locations at the same time, and even pass through one another under certain conditions.

Just to tell you, the comics that you made are amazing!

Thanks! Also made 3 new cattos in my version:

(Ignore the fact that Rubidium and Praseodymium's face looks like that.)

В последнее время больше хочется рисовать в традишке, а не в дидже🦭

Арт с Мику ещё дорисовать бы, но какой есть
