Will naming my Xenon Xe5s4d5p make me look stupid?

since it's actual atomic configuration is [Kr] 5s^10 4d^10 5p^5

will people be like "lol u can't name a chemical by itself" "you failed chemistry" and "you got the configuration wrong" and so on?

but it just doesn't feel like a xenon without the [Xe]

If you're gonna do that just use [Kr], not like anyone who didn't get the numbers after Xe would get it in the first place

[quote=KevinKiri]She said that she did not want to go with Kr since it does not feel right for her without Xe as Xenon.

OT: I say go for it. If people do not get it but try to act like they do, you can always get good laughs.[/quote]

Seeing how many Maplers get extremely mad over simple things, I think they'll first, be insulting you for your IGN due to their lack of knowledge and then be mad at your IGN after you explain to them its true meaning by calling you a nerd and you should get a life.

Maple Logic - If you're not as good as them, you're a noob and you suck. If you're better than them, you're a no life fat ass.

I'd go with Kr instead of Xe. Looks pretty silly as Xe.

Like... Kr5s4d5p looks pretty sick. Xe5s4d5p is highly misleading AND for individuals who don't know any better, they'd think you're some sort of sequential mule of sorts.

Personally I think its really cool. Simple people now a days dont understand the uniqueness, I for one do understand the name and chemistry. I say go for it

I don't think it'll matter you didn't use [Kr] because if you do end up using this ign,
few people will notice.

I didn't even notice it was referring to its configuration until you pointed it out.
I doubt anyone would point out the mistake.

And as someone above said, to people who haven't taken chemistry or
forgot, it would look like a hacker name.

Get fame, traits, non-generic equips and people will think less about that.

I think its unique. But as others said people might get a wrong impersonation.

"Hey Xe5s4d5p! Do you wanna PQ together or something?"
I know they can use your real name or whatever but still...
