poem “Lawrencium: were we wrong?”, a Periodic Table Twitter Verse poem for learning about the element #103, Lawrencium (Lr) about how this is a synthetic element that does not exist in nature and any higher element can’t exist outside the laboratory, but chemists studied Lawrencium and heated Lawrencium to 2,700° Kelvin, where they discovered that Lawrencium lost outer electrons from the outer shell, & that the ionization potential of Lawrencium was too low from what they expected, so they question whether Lawrencium should be in the f-block or d-block of the Periodic Table, so Lawrencium continues to create controversy By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

You don’t exist in nature, anything past you
can’t exist outside the lab— but chemists
studied you in particular, heated you to 2,700° K;
you lost outer electrons, & your ionization potential
was too low... so— f-block or d-block, you
create controversy. Were we wrong all along?
