MELBiUM

MELBiUM (Me), also known as Molebium or Mole-bium, is element 117.

It has been confirmed by the great king himself that although every other element follows standard capitalization conventions, element 117 is unique in that it was named after a king and thus deserves its own special capitalization. Counterintuitively, however, the chemical symbol of MELBiUM is "Me", not "ME".

The atomic mass of Mole-bium is 6.02214141070409084099072 x 10^23 grams per mole, which means that each atom of Mole-bium has a mass of approximately one (1) gram.

Currently, little is known of MELBiUM's chemical properties. MELBiUM has been successfully synthesized only by King George the Melby himself, but from observational evidence it is clear that MELBiUM exists in a so-called "island of stability". The intrinsic volatility of MELBiUM as a halogen and its high atomic number (and thus extremely massive nucleus) cancel each other out to form an exceptionally stable element.

MELBiUM is sublime, meaning it cannot exist in a liquid state. This quality is demonstrated in the adage "Melby is either ice-cold or really gassy."

MELBiUM has been observed to form bonds with itself. This is a form of Melcissism, or love of oneself if one's name is King George the Melby. Note that the element's name is abbreviated as "Me", a clear indication of the presence and effects of Melcissism.
