Hint
Answer
What zeppelins were filled with
Hydrogen
Has the highest strength/weight ratio of any metallic element
Titanium
First produced in 1940, it was employed with explosive results just five years later
Plutonium
Used to treat bipolar disorder
Lithium
Has the symbol Fe
Iron
The fifth element in the Periodic Table
Boron
Precious metal which outranks gold in the world of credit cards
Platinum
The most common element in the Earth's crust
Oxygen
Mines will often equip detectors to prevent exposure to this radioactive gas
Radon
What light bulb filaments are made of
Tungsten
What most aircraft frames were made of during WWII
Aluminum
When added to water, can help prevent cavities
Fluorine
Also the name of Superman's home planet
Krypton
One of two elements named for a U.S. state (name either)
Californium /
Tennessine
A compound of this element is the active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol
Bismuth
What the Statue of Liberty is made of
Copper

I had no idea the Bismol in Pepto-Bismol is based on bismuth! I figured it out in time to complete the quiz, though.

Absit ventris circum cor,

Likewise epigastric sore.

Absit dolor in jejuno

Which, post-prandium, not a few know.

Absit atrox vomitus

With its horrid sonitus.

Absit tum insomnia

Bismuth vincit omnia!

Who else thought the answer to the first one was lead?

I wish i had. I actually thought Helium because after the Hindenburg, zeppelins switched to helium. In fact, the Hindenburg was SUPPOSED to be filled with helium, but the supply was controlled by the Americans and for good reason we didn't export to Germany at that time.

I'm embarrassed to say I guessed "lead" for zeppelins.

Whilst I understand the "word association", I kind of feel that substituting one of the heaviest elements for the lightest would cause difficulties in getting the thing airborne.

After cheating on the longest half-life answer, I stumbled across Googles answer:

Xenon-124, one of the radioactive noble gases, has an extremely long half-life. The half-life of xenon-124, one isotope of xenon, was recently measured to be a trillion times longer than the age of the universe! This is the slowest process ever measured by direct observation.

Who measured it? God?

I tried Xenon for that one but it didn't accept it.

Admittedly, even a quick search on Wikipedia lists many, many radioactive elements that have a longer half-life than lead. Though none state a length quite as long as 10^35 years, so I'm probably just missing something.

I work with biochemistry, not physical chemistry, so take my comment with a grain of salt.

In the Wikipedia page, I found that the longest experimentally measured half-life of a radioisotope belonged to Tellurium-128, which is approximately 2.2*10^24 years. I could not find lead anywhere in Wikipedia's page on the list of most stable nuclides, or any mention of 10^35 as one of the half-lives of lead isotopes.

Could someone link the information for that here?

Seems to refer to double beta decay of Lead-208.

You can measure the decay of less than half of something and then do the math to see how long it would take for half of it to decay....

As to oxygen being the number 1 element in the earth's crust, is in reference to oxygen being part of molecules that make up the surface of the earth? It's certainly not saying that oxygen (O2) is held in liquid form at the bottom of the ocean due to the pressure. I call BS.

It does consider the oxygen as part of minerals. No BS detected. Very few elements can be found in their pure form.

The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol is Bismuth subsalicylate, a compound of bismuth, carbon oxygen and hydrogen. The way the question is worded, it would need to accept all four elements. You could phrase the question as a fill-in-the-blank or in some other way to make it clearer (e.g. add "The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol: _______ subsalicylate").
