| Selenium Selenium () is a chemical element with the atomic number 34, represented by the chemical symbol Se, an atomic mass of 78.96. It is a nonmetal, chemically related to sulfur and tellurium, and rarely occurs in its elemental state in nature. Isolated selenium occurs in several different forms, the most stable of which is a dense purplish-gray semi-metal (semiconductor) form that is structurally a trigonal polymer chain. Selenium

| Tin Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn () and atomic number 50. It is a main group metal in group 14 of the periodic table. Tin shows chemical similarity to both neighboring group 14 elements, germanium and lead, like the two possible oxidation states +2 and +4. Tin is the 49th most abundant element and has, with 10 isotopes, the largest number of stable isotopes in the periodic table. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as tin dioxide, SnO2. Tin

| Thorium Thorium () is a chemical element with the symbol Th and atomic number 90. It is a naturally occurring, slightly radioactive metal, which has been successfully used as an alternative nuclear fuel to uranium in the molten-salt reactor experiment for several years. Thorium is abundant on Earth and this type of reactor can be built to operate significantly cleaner than uranium based powerplants as the waste products are much easier to handle. Thorium
