This is more one for the engineers/materials scientists.

Which element has a HCP structure at low temperature, a BCC structure at high temperatures (>1100 K), and will creep at room temperature?


This brings back bad memories. I am happy to say I have no idea :biggrin:

Could it be Kalium? it has an ionisation energy under 5 eV. That is the lowest one which I found out.

I get to ask the next question, right? So the element I'm thinking of is the one that has an isotope/s without neutrons. Should be easy enough. :biggrin:
