i only got 44 out of 118.... :( g/f got 22/118.

i got most of the metals/non-metals, several lanthanides, but left most of the transition metals blank as i have never done didley squat with inorganic chemistry...lol.

if i had the letters to go by, i could probably name close to 100.




honor code violations will not be tollerated! so no cheating! lol

and if jmontgomery wins he has to send everyone a free frag....

I've got 6 min to go and I'm stuck at 32. Pretty sad as I'm a Materials Scientist :)

 

[Paintguru]

38, missed some REALLLLY easy ones.

43/118 for me...I could've sworn I typed in some of the ones I missed too!

 

[bamachamp92]

i got 58

i can only get 47, technically 48 but they wouldnt count flourine...CRAP didnt know it was uo not ou...jerks!
so 47 it is
being in this hobby, you have to get more than 2 rev!
calcium, magnesium,iodine,sodium, chlorine, boron, nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen, hydrogen
actually, if you use tropic marine salt all you need to do is read off the side of that as it has a lot of elements on there

I thought of doing that from a bottle of vitamins, but that would be cheating. I did miss Phosphorous though :marv

Woot! 104 out of 118

Ok I got 3 you happy....

 

[Russellaqua]

Score! Finally got them all. Those 5 semesters of chemistry and 4 semesters of geochemistry finally paid off.

i got in the 60's the 2nd time after i reviewed the answers. first time with no help is the only one that counts (its tempting to look for at least the letters on another periodic table...but i resisted...lol), i didn't look at anything.

for a biochemist....i got pretty much everything right that i need to know. lanthanides and transition metals are useless to me...lol

 

[Poseidon]

Only 38 the first time through... Boy I need to refresh that part of my BRAIN!

 

[Russellaqua]

lanthanides are great. They're planets, places, and dead physicists:

Uranium- Uranus
Neptunium- Neptune
Plutonium- Pluto
Americium- America
Californium- California
Berkelium- U. Cal. Berkeley
Curium- The Curies
Einsteinium- Einstein
Fermium- Enrico Fermi
Mendelevium- Medelev, inventor of the periodic table
Nobelium- Alfred Nobel

actinium, thorium, and protactinium are toughies.

I clicked on that link and thought we were playing Q-Bert. Then I realized that the reason I could never do well in Science is because every time someone mentioned STP I thought Stone Temple Pilots.

:hammer:

no wonder most of my freshman chemistry students had a hard time with the gas laws....

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Alright ok I got one.....

i forgot what the Uu's were called, then i looked at the name and remembered it was just "unun" and then a latin number. thats an automatic 6 freebies right there...lol
