Artistic License Chemistry

rdfs:comment

When a work of fiction creates a new trait of a known element or compound--as opposed to Unobtainium, which generally just makes up new substances out of whole cloth. Such is usually done in service of the Rule of Cool. There may be some overlap when real names are used for obviously fictional elements. May very, very rarely intersect with Science Marches On, but usually this trope applies either where science has already long since marched on, or some twisted path entirely off the parade route. Subtropes: * Hollywood Acid * Unobtainium Examples of Artistic License Chemistry include:

Not to be confused with Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors; granted, elements don't work that way either in Real Life. Compare Parodic Table of the Elements. Mirror Chemistry is often a specific form of this. It is worth bearing in mind that several substances in Real Life (especially commercial medicines and cosmetics) are marketed under names that would make a proper chemist wince, and there's no reason the fictional world should be any different. Kryptonite doesn't have to have anything to do with Krypton... unless they tell you it does. Subtropes: * Hollywood Acid * Unobtainium Examples of Artistic License Chemistry include:
