audience a little flavor for how you grew up. Ms. Europium;
My name is Europium. Of coarse I am named after the continent where I was born in 1901,
but more specifically I was raised in France. I was brought up by my father who also
happens to be a discoverer. His name is Eugene Demartay. My atomic number for the contest
is sixty three.
Judge; I happen to know from the questionnaire that you filled out earlier
that you keep in touch with an extensive part of your family. Which part of your family
are you closest to?
Ms. Europium; That is a complicated question. First, I am a member of a
large group known as the rare earth elements. There are about thirty of us. Yet, within
the rare earth elements there are two subdivisions called the lanthanide series and the
acitinde series. I am most alike in the physical properties of the lanthanide series.
Therefore, I believe I am closest to the rare earth elements of the lanthanide series.
Commentator; Now it is time for the infamous bathing suit competition. Ms.
Europium or contestant sixty three listed on the score sheet, please proceed to strut down
the runway as the announcer describes your suit.
Announcer; Contestant number sixty three is wearing a shimmery metallic
silver-white two piece bathing suit. The special cubic crystal structure is hand crafted
by the one and only Amedeo Avogadro. This suit will not stop a bullet, but it is as hard
as lead yet it is quite ductile. Very interesting. This stunning suit has just the kind of
uniqueness that I think the judges are looking for. Let's get the scores from the
commentator for the "noble" judges....
Commentator; The scores of Ms. Europium...
Judge number two, Helium, gives her a 6.02 x 10 23, how exciting her first
perfect score. Oh my this is a rare occasion. Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon all
awarded Ms. Europium with perfect scores of 6.02 x 10 23. What a monumental time for this
pageant. Ms. Europium might have just earned enough points to win the whole Ms. Mole
Universe pageant. But, before the results are announced we will have to break for a
commercial. So don't touch that dial and the results will come quicker than it takes to
boil Europium at 1511 degrees Fahrenheit.
Commercial (paid for by pageant advocates); The Ms. Mole Universe pageant
often receives unjustified comments from our viewers. As pageant advocates we would just
like to recognize the fact that each mole is treated as an equal. A mole of sodium and a
mole of chlorine each equal 6.02 x 10 23 and are treated as equals too. Each individual
mole has the equal 6.02 x 10 23, yet here at Ms. Mole Universe the pageant it is designed
to look into the special parts of each mole to see their individualistic character traits
that set them apart from each other. Thank you for your time and now back to the scheduled
pageant.
Commentator; The results of the competition are in. The next Ms. Mole
Universe is.... Ms. Europium! The audience goes wild. She looks beautiful in her evening
gown with the pattern of Europe on it. What an honor it must be to wear the sash and to
hold those flowers for her continent. So Ms. Europium, what are you going to do now?
Ms. Europium; With my six energy levels I am going to dedicate a part of
myself to the production of nuclear-reactor control rods and other parts of myself to the
production of television.
Commentator; Wow, what a girl! That is all until next years Ms. Mole
Universe pageant. Tune in then for more exciting competition.
Final Theme Song; There she is Ms. Mole Universe.......
