Spell the Element

Aayna Sharma

Do you know your elements? Well, let’s put that to the test with a game!

How this game works: In order, there will be elements with their full names. Figure out their abbreviations and then put them together to create a word. Answers are at the bottom.

Ex) Calcium + Selenium = Case (Ca + Se)

Let’s start easy:

Lithium + Argon ____________________

Selenium + Aluminum ____________________

Gold + Radium ____________________

A little harder:

Germanium + Nickel + Uranium + Sulfur ____________________

Sulfur + Lanthanum + Yttrium ____________________

Iodine + Cobalt + Nickel + Carbon ____________________

The real test:

Helium + Lithium + Cobalt + Platinum + Erbium

____________________

Nobelium + Titanium + Fluorine + Iodine + Carbon + Astatine + Oxygen + Nitrogen _____________________

Dysprosium + Sulfur + Fluorine + Uranium + Nitrogen + Carbon + Titanium + Oxygen + Nitrogen + Aluminum

_____________________________

Unscramble:

This time the elements will not be in order. You must unscramble the elements to create a word!

Ex) Sulfur + Ruthenium + Hydrogen = S + Ru + H → RuSH

Potassium + Einsteinium + Cobalt + Oxygen + Iodine _______________________

Iodine + Ruthenium + Vanadium + Sulfur _______________________
