    Okay. First question. Name an element on the periodic table whose chemical symbol begins with the letter “A”.

    giphy.gif

    That pesky periodic table song may have come in handy:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz4Dd1I_fX0



    So did people go obvious with Argon? (Because all of the rest of them are-gone?) Or more subtle with Au?

    Next question: Name an element on the periodic table beginning with one of the following letters: P E (E) H S

    A fairly obvious one, one would think, with plenty of scope for an Ace. In fact, there were 11 of them!

    A few were incorrect, either because they're not elements, or because they don't begin with SHE(E) or P.

    INCORRECTS - 6:

    Antimony - TED_YNWA
    Lead - Ectoplasm
    Lead - skeith
    Phosphate - Whiplashy
    Tin - Baggly

    Question 1 was for the chemical symbol. Question 2 was for the name.
