The radioactive-ikon is only my first-suggestion (4 variant with various transparent parts, but the same object). Since it's gonna be used for several elements, I will try out more suggestions later.
The preview is for "Si" and "Ca" together, I tried out a cow for the milk-carton but it was too small for 40 x 40 pixel (upper-right corner) then I tried stripes. I want to thank the commenter's.

Just wanted to say that your icons are looking great. Thanks for the effort!
I was a bit sceptic about using milk as an example of calcium, because it's not like this element is used for this by man like most other examples. Then again, man-made examples are rare and calcium is an essential part of living organism -- bones, teeth, leaves, and, to quote wikipedia, is the most common metal in many animals.
By the way, there's a new supplementary radiation warning symbol for really dangerous radioactivity by IAEA and ISO organizations.

More links there.
Thank you Louis. I was uncertain also about
using milk for calcium. I first wanted to draw concrete, but couldn't find a item on concrete that was easy recognizable in the small size (a concrete "bag" looks like flour or rice). I would really like to draw leaves or bones, but they are even more untouched by humans (milk is pasteurized and homogenized). If someone have a good idea to calcium icon (a specific item recognizable on 40 x 40 pixel), let me know so I can try it out. Thank you "anonymous" for your valuable insight.
The lighter is just awesome. REALLY good work.
For the "radio-active-sign" it would make a black dot in the middle.
Thanks - Yes, I shall make one with black in the middle. I'm grateful for ideas how to improve this icon :-)
I also want to draw alternatives (something complete different) for the radioactive-ikon, any ideas anyone?
The icons are looking nice, but I don't understand: why is silicon a glass of water? How about a transistor or a microchip?
Thank you. Uhm; I'm using the list:
http://edu.kde.org/kalzium/icon_ideas.php
witch says sand and glass is SiO2, so maybe glass can be used as Si or O. I'm not good at the elements usage, so suggestions and comment will help me both now and later, when I have time to redraw/polish the drawings:-)
The lighter is just stunning! Great work! If you ever find the time, would you mind writing a little tutorial on how you create these icons ? Thanks! Joe
Thank you Joe. I think a little tutorial could be a nice way to summarize the icon-work after the first set is done. I will have this in mind, looking for the best example and so. Thanks :-)
Thanks
Interesting! :-)
