Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The chemical symbol is Hg. Which element am I talking about?

Answer: mercury

Mercury is a silvery liquid also known as quicksilver or hydragyrum (its Latin name). It can be very poisonous.

2. This element is usually found in light bulbs. What is the element?

Answer: tungsten

Tungsten reacts with oxygen at high temperatures. It glows brightly when heated, which makes it good to use in light bulbs.

3. This element can react with oxygen. When it does, it will create rust. Which element is this?

Answer: iron

Rust is also known as iron oxide. You can find this compound on almost every single iron object. For example, monkey bars.

4. This metallic element is the most abundant in the Earth's crust. Which element is this?

Answer: aluminum

Aluminum is an important ingredient in making silverish paint. It is also used to make baking pans.

5. This element is used for respiration. Without it we would not survive. What element is this?

Answer: oxygen

Oxygen is essential for the survival of you and me. But each breath we take, less than half of the air is oxygen. Most of the air we breathe is nitrogen!

6. Which of these elements isn't a real element in the periodic table?

Answer: kriteon

Kriteon does not exist. Krypton and neon are noble gases. Uranium is a naturally radioactive element.

7. This gaseous element is normally used in brightly-lit signs. Which element am I talking about?

Answer: neon

Different amounts of neon (and maybe some of another element) can make different colors. It is colourless without the electrical charge applied to the sign.

Answer: arsenic

Lead, mercury and arsenic are all toxic and could be fatal if ingested. Lead isn't fatal under most circumstances but it can cause brain damage. Mercury is easy to recognize but sometimes it can evaporate and if that happens... it's very dangerous! It is almost unrecognisable in gas form until you breathe it in. Arsenic may lead to different types of cancer.

9. This element is essential. You must have a proper amount of _____ in your body to prevent high and low blood pressure.

Answer: sodium

Too much sodium gives you high blood pressure and not enough sodium gives you low blood pressure. So, keep the balance of sodium and liquids in your body.

10. A lot of elements have weird names just like this one. Which element was named after a US state?

Answer: californium

Californium was named after the US state of California. It is element number 98 in the periodic table.
