Ok, asking for some help here, thanks to anyone who helps in advance:
Im looking for suggestions of any solid (eg. iron, copper, gold, silver, slightly more remote things like Iridium, or can be something like Sodium Chloride) that has interesting physical properties, for instance, does it sink only in a certain liquid, or just has something quirky or unique about in in general, odd or humourous applications (but not obscene!) applications.
A slight odd ask I know, but serious suggestions would be most welcome from anyone willing to help in the search or knows one from their physics/chemistry.
Cheers

Which reaction is that used as a catalyst for? I should know, but can't remember. Last stage of manufacturing sulphuric acid?

I float, unless I breathe out, then I sink.
Vanadium is the best element, fact.
Four oxidation states!!
Four oxidation states!!
Not strictly a solid (or even a chemical) but cornflower has the rather lovely property of acting like either a liquid or a solid depending on the amount of force applied to it. Hitting it hard makes it act like a solid, but push down on it gently and it acts as a liquid. There's a special word for it (begins with Z if I remember correctly).
Probably of no use to you, but meh :)
