Here you go :D

I'm doing shockingly badly at the moment and only have 40 out of 118 with 5 mins to go.

76 - which isn't bad considering I was never taught past Z=104

There were a few I missed that really hurt - one transition metal especially.

Enjoyed that! :mrgreen: :geek:

I got 58 when the time ran out. Also I didn't think the elements above 106 had been offically named because they hadn't been synthesised or collected in sufficient quantity yet.

"You scored at the 63rd percentile" - so I guess I'm a bit rubbish. I used to have it stuck to my ceiling!

52, with 5 minutes to go but I wouldn't remember many more.

The spelling was the worst part. I can't even spell Pottasium :oops:

The middle groups were the hardest.

73
with 13 others that I know

I like the extra points for just having a knowledge of what I think are latine number names: ununbium, ununtrium, ununquadium, ununpentium, ununhexium, ununsptium and ununoctium.

plus the people named ones einstienium, curium etc and place named ones: scandium, europium, polonoium and krypton etc

Terrible, but then I didn't even do chemistry at GCSE.

At school for GCSEs and As the periodic table was forced upon us. I didn't enjoy it at first, but once I understood how it worked I became much more interested. The first thing that happened in Chemistry at uni was a test on the periodic table, and the majority of people had not even the basic grasp of it. :shock:

Hmm, 54/118.
That's embarrassing seeing as I'm a chemist. Still, In my defence I haven't had to use the periodic table for years. It's not that important when most of your work is Chromatography based analysing organic molecules.
Still, oh dear.
