Rules!

1. The human figure drawn on the board represents you.

2. Fill the blanks on the board to get the right element. One clue will be
provided for each element.

3. Getting the element right with only this clue gives the player 3 points.

4. Additional clues will be provided, and one point deducted for every clue
provided.

5. No points for failing to answer correctly.

 Used by British and Germans in
making war tanks, alloys with
steel increase the melting
point.
1 Atomic number 42.

This transition metal is a hard,

silvery colored element that
was often confused with
graphite.
 87.2% of the element
produced goes into catalytic
converters.This application
reduces harmful emissions
from cars by converting
2 carbon monoxide and other
gases into less poisonous
gases.

Atomic number 45

Very high reflectance

 Is actively absorbed by both
plants and animals but does
not seem to serve a vital

3 purpose.

Atomic Number 37

Silvery white. Ignites

spontaneously in air.
 Was used in ancient Egypt as
a form of eyeliner (kohl).

4 Atomic number 51

Its name is attributed to the

French word for "monk killer,"
since toxic antimony is linked
to alchemy, which was often
studied by monks.
 Alexander Graham Bell used it
to produce the photophone in
1879. The photophone allowed
speech patterns to be

5
transmitted on a beam of light.

Atomic number 34.

It plays a major role in enzyme

production in humans and is
also used in solar technology,
glass manufacturing, and
alloys.
 It is also used to produce blue
or violet LEDs.

6
Atomic Number 31

Most interesting property is its

ability to be a liquid when held
in a human hand and refreezes
when removed from hand.
 It is used to harden alloys,
specifically lead and copper.

Atomic number 33

7 Despite its toxicity, it has a

long history being used for
medical purposes, including as
a cancer treatment,a skin
bleaching agent.
 It is sometimes used in
Platinum alloys.

8 Atomic number 44

Most common purpose is for

creating a coating of wear -
resistance.
 It is a soft element and is
considered stable in air when
in a large piece and becomes
unstable when sliced into

9
small particles

Atomic number 39

NASA Apollo missions to the

Moon brought back samples
of lunar rock which contained
this element.
 Due to electrical excitement, It
is used in high powered lamps
and flash lamps such as
10 photography strobe lights.

Atomic number 54

In metallic state, It has a sky

blue colour.
 It is used as an Intense white
light source for flash
photography due to its high
emission lines.
11 Atomic No 36
 Because of its conductive and
anti-corrosion properties,

12 tungsten is often used to make

electrical wiring.

Atomic Number 74
 The red colour in fireworks and
flares are due to this element.
13 Atomic Number 38

It is even softer than calcium and

can be cut with a knife.
 It plays a key role in nuclear
weapons, helping them to
affect wider areas.

14 Atomic Number 73

Its unstable Isotope is the

scarcest isotope in the
UNIVERSE!
 Most of this element available
on earth is from outer space
after a meteorite Impact.
15 Atomic Number 79

Scientists believe this element

can be found on Mars, Venus
and Mercury.
 Is found in a few naturally
occurring geological
formations, including impact
craters.

16 Atomic number 76

Is rarely used in its pure form,

given that it can be highly toxic
and volatile. Alloys played a
key role in various aspects of
lightbulb technology over the
years.
 Dense and brittle, it is hard to
machine, form or work it
unless it is heated to extreme

17 temperatures.

Atomic number 77

It is not affected by acids,

bases, or most other strong
chemicals.
 Before krypton, the
International Conference on
Weights and Measures once
calibrated a one meter length
18 based on the spectral line of
this element.

Atomic Number 48

It is key player in
Rechargeable batteries.
