Plutonium is a man-made element used primarily in the cores of nuclear weapons[1]. Gaius Baltar asks for the plutonium from one of the ship's nuclear warheads from Commander Adama to build his Cylon detector (TRS: "Bastille Day"). Baltar also mentions the use of tetrahydrocycline for the detector (TRS: "Water").
The Red Moon's atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, methane and argon (TRS: "You Can't Go Home Again"). Oxygen is mentioned several times throughout the series.
Chief Tyrol asks for copper tubing when some his deckhands fail to build a proper distiller (TRS: "Litmus").
On Galactica, perishable goods are kept in titanium lockers (TRS: "Final Cut").
Chromium is known to the Colonials by this name, since "chrome job" is a slang term for Cylon Centurions (TRS: "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance").
- ↑ The existence of this synthetic element means that the natural element it is derived from, uranium, exists in the world of the Re-imagined Series. (Etymological purists on the origins of the names of the Lords of Kobol may be annoyed that the Greek pantheon parallelism to the Lords of Kobol is disturbed again, for plutonium is named for Pluto, the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Hades).
