This was great! It was challenging but even though I don't know much about the elements I was still able to get a pretty good score.

thanks, a fun quiz. I think that I got away with a wrong answer, though. For the third question on the pink, I put Uranium and that was marked correct. Surely it IS named after a real place?

Uranus is technically a place but it isn't in earth, but a planey

Uranium was named after the planet since it was discovered only a few years earlier, but the planet itself was named after the deity so that's what Uranium is grouped under as well. You'll find that Neptunium and Plutonium work as answers too.

Sorry. Are you saying that Uranus was discovered only a few years before uranium?

That surprised me as well but I just googled it and apparently Uranus was discovered in 1781 and Uranium was discovered in 1789.

Great quiz, but you should specify the scale of electronegativty being used. Chlorine has an electronegativty of 2.85 on the Allen scale.

Out of curiosity, which fields prefer to use the Allen scale or any other alternative scale? I have only ever encountered the Pauling scale.

Pauling scale is the established and more accurate one, but the Allen scale is easier to calcuate (thus being the one taught to young kids) and provides information about electronegativity of noble gases as well. The examination for which I'm preparing for may use any of the Pauling , Mulliken or Allen scales.

Aced it! I'm surprised to see such low numbers for thorium and meitnerium.

Thanks for including Meitnerium. I have students do a report on scientists with elements named after them, and it's great to see that realization they get when they realize women scientists are better represented (% wise) on the Periodic Table than on a list of Nobel Prize winners.

Greek and Roman should be capitalized. Also, you have noble instead of Nobel. I really enjoyed the quiz, though. Sadly, I had to just guess nearly every single element to get the female scientist one!

I had to guess every single "last name-y sounding" element again... This time I looked her up. Poor Lisa never got her due.

I missed the two more commonly guessed final answers but got the 2 less commonly guessed….. I knew Meitner didn’t have a Nobel prize so that’s how I got Meitnerium. However I need some elaboration on what is the Pauline scale. I have never heard of it

Thorium somehow completely escaped me... I was literally wracking my brain trying to figure that one out. THORium. MASSIVE FACEPALM.
