[Intro]
Has he some
(Hassium)
Dense and unstable
(Laugh if you’re able)
[Verse 1]
Heavier than it looks
(And it ain’t from reading books)
You barely have a half-life
(… the antonym of rife)
[Bridge]
Has he some
(Hassium)
[Chorus]
Dense and unstable
(Laugh if you’re able)
I suppose we should probe
(His various isotopes)
[Verse 2]
Solid as a rock (Rock solid)
He did what he did (He did)
… needs to get a life
(Macroscopic strife)
[Bridge]
Has he some
(Hassium)
[Chorus]
Dense and unstable
(Laugh if you’re able)
I suppose we should probe
(His various isotopes)
[Outro]
He is unable
(Dense and unstable)
He has some
(Hassium)
A human fable
(Dense and unstable)
ABOUT THE SONG
The densest unstable element is predicted to be hassium (element 108). While osmium and iridium are the densest naturally occurring, stable elements, hassium is a synthetic, highly radioactive element whose various isotopes have half-lives ranging from milliseconds to an estimated 11 minutes (for Hassium-277).
Scientists predict that hassium has an extremely high density of around 40.7 g/cm³ (grams per cubic centimeter). This is nearly double the density of osmium (22.59 g/cm³).
Due to its instability and short half-life, a macroscopic, visible quantity of hassium has never been produced or measured experimentally; its properties are based on predictions from its position in the periodic table and studies of a few atoms at a time.
