==========
Thallium, because it is heavier, has two different so-called oxidation states. It can react with one atom of chlorine per thallium, or say three, and the different chemistry between thallium-one and thallium-three. Thallium salts are very poisonous, and there was quite a notorious case some years ago when a technician at some company, who turned out to be mad, was discovered to have been poisoning many of his colleagues with thallium and so, but it is not a widely used element, apart from a few materials that are used. There is a rather nice red material that is made of thallium, which has the rather unromantic name of KRS-5, this is mixed bromide and iodine with thallium which is used as windows for many infrared experiments. But because thallium is so poisonous, one has to be quite careful about...
