What Periodic Element Am I?

What Chemical Element Am I Quiz

Our world consists of various elements, which are arranged in the periodic table according to atomic numbers. Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev devised the periodic table in 1869. Since then, more than 170 versions of periodic tables have been proposed. In summary, the short form was proposed by Mendeleev, the long form by Werner, the specialty table by Poltar, the planar spiral table and round table by Dammenkov, and the dimensional periodic table represented by Lacey's taper column.

• H7020911_1.008_1HydrogenOther nonmetalsYou love adventure and you’re also good at collecting information, consequently, you’re quick to change your mind. Just like hydrogen!1766Discovered by Henry Cavendish via a metal-acid reaction.Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1. With an atomic weight of 1.00794 u, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. Its monatomic form (H) is the most abundant chemical substance in the Universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass. Non-remnant stars are mainly composed of hydrogen in the plasma state. The most common isotope of hydrogen, termed protium (name rarely used, symbol 1H), has one proton and no neutrons.
• He0010732_4.002602_2HeliumNoble gasesYou are introspective and calm. When you face challenges you are super cool and are always able to make rational judgments. Just like one of the rare gases, helium!1868Helium was first discovered on the sun. French astronomer Pierre-Jules-César Janssen noticed a yellow line in the sun's spectrum while studying a total solar eclipse in 1868.Helium is a chemical element with symbol He and atomic number 2. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert, monatomic gas, the first in the noble gas group in the periodic table. Its boiling point is the lowest among all the elements.
• Li7722233_6.94_2,1LithiumAlkali metalNo matter who you're with, be it friends or workmates, you're always the heart of the group. You have a natural talent for communication - just like lithium.1817Lithium was discovered in 1817 by Johann August Arfvedson who found it in the mineral petalite."Lithium (from Greek: λίθος lithos, "stone") is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silver-white metal belonging to the alkali metal group of chemical elements. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable. For this reason, it is typically stored in mineral oil. When cut open, it exhibits a metallic luster, but contact with moist air corrodes the surface quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. Because of its high reactivity, lithium never occurs freely in nature, and instead, appears only in compounds, which are usually ionic."
• Be5391314_9.0121831_2,2BerylliumAlkaline earth metalNo matter who you're with, be it friends or workmates, you're always the heart of the group. You have a natural talent for communication - just like beryllium.1798Beryllium was discovered in 1798 by French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin, who found it in the oxide form in beryl and a green-colored variety of beryl, emerald.Beryllium is a chemical element with symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe, usually occurring as a product of the spallation of larger atomic nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays. Within the cores of stars beryllium is depleted as it is fused and creates larger elements. It is a divalent element which occurs naturally only in combination with other elements in minerals. Notable gemstones which contain beryllium include beryl (aquamarine, emerald) and chrysoberyl. As a free element it is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal.
• B3143235_10.81_2,3BoronMetalloidsYou can be easily persuaded by others and you're a bit of an easy target for this. But once others really get to know you, they realise you can’t be so easily controlled. Just like boron.1808Boron was discovered independently in 1808 by different scientists. French chemists Joseph-Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis-Jaques Thénard, and English chemist Sir Humphry Davy isolated the element.Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth's crust. Boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals. These are mined industrially as evaporites, such as borax and kernite. The largest known boron deposits are in Turkey, the largest producer of boron minerals.
• C1413416_12.011_2,4CarbonOther nonmetalsYou are natural and low-key, something of a mystery - well, this is the feeling you give others. At first glance, you appear ordinary, but once people get to know you, your many qualities can’t be ignored. Just like carbon.Prehistoric timesCarbon was first discovered as charcoal in prehistoric times."Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. Three isotopes occur naturally, 12C and 13C being stable while 14C is a radioactive isotope, decaying with a half-life of about 5,730 years. Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity."
• N2100807_14.007_2,5NitrogenOther nonmetalsYou’re the silent type, and others may not always be aware you’re there, but with your observant nature and clear perception, you absorb everything that goes on around you. Just like nitrogen.1772Nitrogen was discovered in 1772 by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford."Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7. It was first discovered and isolated by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772. Although Carl Wilhelm Scheele and Henry Cavendish had independently done so at about the same time, Rutherford is generally accorded the credit because his work was published first. The name nitrogen was suggested by Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal in 1790, when it was found that nitrogen was present in nitric acid and nitrates; this name derives from the Greek roots νἰτρον "nitre" and "γεννᾶν "to form"."
• O3200818_15.999_2,6OxygenOther nonmetalsLike salt, you are an indispensable part of our lives. You exist quietly all around us, observing. You are like oxygen.1772 – 1774Oxygen was first discovered in 1772 by Carl W. Scheele in Sweden, but this went unpublished. It was again discovered two years later by Joseph Priestley in England. Scheele had heated several compounds including potassium nitrate, manganese oxide, and mercury oxide and found they released a gas which enhanced combustion.Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table and is a highly reactive nonmetal and oxidizing agent that readily forms oxides with most elements as well as other compounds. By mass, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas with the formula O2. This is an important part of the atmosphere and diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, as oxides the element makes up almost half of the Earth's crust.

You are just like fluorine.1886Fluorine was discovered in 1886 by French chemist Henri Moissan, who collected the gas by passing an electric current through one of its compounds, hydrogen fluoride.Fluorine is a chemical element with symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. As the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
• Ne20109010_20.1797_2,8NeonNoble gasesYou judge things objectively with vision and a sense of calm. You are just like neon.1898Neon was discovered by Scottish chemist Sir William Ramsay and English chemist Morris Travers not long after they discovered krypton in 1898. Like krypton, neon was discovered through the study of liquefied air."Neon is a chemical element with symbol Ne and atomic number 10. It is in group 18 (noble gases) of the periodic table.[9] Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under standard conditions, with about two-thirds the density of air. It was discovered (along with krypton and xenon) in 1898 as one of the three residual rare inert elements remaining in dry air, after nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide were removed. Neon was the second of these three rare gases to be discovered, and was immediately recognized as a new element from its bright red emission spectrum. The name neon is derived from the Greek word, νέον, neuter singular form of νέος (neos), meaning new. Neon is chemically inert and forms no uncharged chemical compounds. "
• Na41122111_22.98976928_2,8,1SodiumAlkali metalYou have an explosive temper, and though these fits of passion come and go quickly, it's easy to scare off strangers. You are like the lively sodium.1808Sodium was first isolated in 1807 by Sir Humphry Davy, who found it by electrolysing dry molten sodium hydroxide, which lead to sodium collecting at the cathode.Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table, because it has a single electron in its outer shell that it readily donates, creating a positively charged atom—the Na+ cation. Its only stable isotope is 23Na. The free metal does not occur in nature, but must be prepared from compounds. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite and rock salt (NaCl). Many salts of sodium are highly water-soluble: sodium ions have been leached by the action of water from the Earth's minerals over eons, and thus sodium and chlorine are the most common dissolved elements by weight in the oceans.
• Mg83421112_24.305_2,8,2MagnesiumAlkaline earth metalYou have a little problem controlling your emotions, and though these bursts of passion come and go in a flash, you often scare off strangers. You are like lively magnesium.1808Magnesium was isolated by Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) in 1808 almost 200 years after its discovery. He electrolysed a mixture of magnesia and mercuric oxide.Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid which bears a close physical resemblance to the other five elements in the second column (Group 2, or alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table: all Group 2 elements have the same electron configuration in the outer electron shell and a similar crystal structure.
• Al65323113_26.9815385_2,8,3AluminumPost-transition metalsYou represent youth and energy, and you're often impulsive and reckless. But, hey, isn't this the price of youth? You're just like aluminium.1827Scientists suspected than an unknown metal existed in alum as early as 1787 but it took almost 40 years for someone to learn how to extract it. In 1825, Danish chemist Hans Christian Oersted became the first person to produce tiny amounts of aluminum.Aluminium or aluminum (in North American English) is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust (after oxygen and silicon) and its most abundant metal. Aluminium makes up about 8% of the crust by mass, though it is less common in the mantle below. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite.
• Si46616014_28.085_2,8,4SiliconMetalloidsWherever you are, you're the pillar of the group and you handle matters maturely. You're just like silicon.1823Silicon was discovered in 1824 by Swedish chemist Jöns Berzelius, who heated chips of potassium in a silica container and then carefully washed away the residual by-products.Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14. A hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue-gray metallic luster, it is a tetravalent metalloid. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table, along with carbon above it and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium below. It is rather unreactive, though less so than germanium, and has great chemical affinity for oxygen.
• P73257015_30.973761998_2,8,5PhosphorusOther nonmetalsEven if no one is paying attention to you, you still have your own brilliance. You are free from the restraints of materialism and can amuse yourself. You are truly like phosphorus.1669Germany's Hennig Brand discovered phosphorus in 1669 by preparing it from urine.Phosphorus is a chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15. As an element, phosphorus exists in two major forms—white phosphorus and red phosphorus—but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth. At 0.099%, phosphorus is the most abundant pnictogen in the Earth's crust. With few exceptions, minerals containing phosphorus are in the maximally oxidised state as inorganic phosphate rocks.
• S53456116_32.06_2,8,6SulfurOther nonmetalsYou are well rounded and completely balanced. Among friends you're not the center of attention and yet you are also not hiding in a corner. You are a gentle dose of harmony. Just like sulfur.Ancient timesSulfur has been known since ancient times.Sulfur or sulphur (see spelling differences) is a chemical element with symbol S and atomic number 16. It is an abundant, multivalent nonmetal. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow crystalline solid at room temperature. Chemically, sulfur reacts with all elements except for gold, platinum, iridium, tellurium and the noble gases.

You're like chlorine.1774Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by Carl Scheele. He obtained it through the reaction of the mineral pyrolusite with hydrochloric acid.Chlorine is a chemical element with symbol Cl and atomic number 17. The second-lightest of the halogens, it appears between fluorine and bromine in the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between them. Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. It is an extremely reactive element and a strong oxidising agent: among the elements, it has the highest electron affinity and the third-highest electronegativity, behind only oxygen and fluorine.

You are argon.1894Argon was discovered in 1894 by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay. They isolated it by examining the residue obtained by removing nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water from clean air.Argon is a chemical element with symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas. Argon is the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere, at 0.934% (9340 ppmv) more than twice as abundant as water vapor (which averages about 4000 ppmv, but varies greatly), 23 times as abundant as carbon dioxide (400 ppmv), and more than 500 times as abundant as neon (18 ppmv). Argon is the most abundant noble gas in Earth's crust, comprising 0.00015% of the crust.
• K63721019_30.0983_2,8,8,1PotassiumAlkali metalYou create happiness wherever you go, but your anxious personality can lead to misunderstandings. You are like potassium.1807Potassium metal was first isolated in 1807 by England's Sir Humphry Davy, who derived it from caustic potash by electrolysis of molten KOH with voltaic pile.Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (derived from Neo-Latin, kalium) and atomic number 19. It was first isolated from potash, the ashes of plants, from which its name derives. In the periodic table, potassium is one of the alkali metals. All of the alkali metals have a single valence electron in the outer electron shell, which is easily removed to create an ion with a positive charge – a cation, which combines with anions to form salts. Potassium in nature occurs only in ionic salts. Elemental potassium is a soft silvery-white alkali metal that oxidizes rapidly in air and reacts vigorously with water, generating sufficient heat to ignite hydrogen emitted in the reaction and burning with a lilac-colored flame. It is found dissolved in sea water (which is 0.04% potassium by weight), and is part of many minerals.
• Ca66823120_40.078_2,8,8,2CalciumAlkaline earth metalYou often form your own opinion but can also often be easily persuaded by others, simply because of your own feelings rather than actual facts - just like calcium.1808Calcium was first isolated in 1808 in England by Sir Humphry Davy who electrolyzed a mixture of lime and mercuric oxide.Calcium is a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20. Calcium is a soft gray Group 2 alkaline earth metal, fifth-most-abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. The ion Ca2+ is also the fifth-most-abundant dissolved ion in seawater by both molarity and mass, after sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfate.

• V39913323_50.9415_2,8,11,2VanadiumTransition metalYou are extremely stubborn and set in your ways, resisting change even when it seems that the task at hand is impossible to finish. Because of this, your relationships with other can be brittle. You are like vanadium.1830Vanadium was discovered in Mexico 1801 by Spanish scientist Andres Manuel del Rio. Del Rio discovered the element in brown lead ore (now known to be vanadinite)..Vanadium is a chemical element with symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery grey, ductile, and malleable transition metal. The elemental metal is rarely found in nature, but once isolated artificially, the formation of an oxide layer (passivation) stabilizes the free metal somewhat against further oxidation.
• Cr17922024_51.9961_2,8,13,1ChromiumTransition metalYou're like a large crab, brandishing your claws. Your thick shell protects you from others. Once you are captured by others, however, you discard your outer shell to reveal a tender side. You are like chromium.1797Chromium was discovered in 1797 by Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin while he was experimenting with a material known as Siberian red lead, also known as the mineral crocoite. He produced chromium oxide by mixing crocoite with hydrochloric acid.Chromium is a chemical element with symbol Cr and atomic number 24. It is the first element in Group 6. It is a steely-grey, lustrous, hard and brittle metal which takes a high polish, resists tarnishing, and has a high melting point. The name of the element is derived from the Greek word χρῶμα, chrōma, meaning color, because many of the compounds are intensely colored.
• Mn47941125_54,938044_2,8,13,2ManganeseTransition metalYou are the thinker of the crowd and stick to your own opinions, but sometimes because you haven't taken reality into account, your opinion can be lopsided. You're just like manganese.1774In 1774 Carl Wilhelm Scheele first proposed the existence of a new element, however, manganese was officially discovered later that year by Johan Gottlieb Gahn, a Swedish chemist, by heating the mineral pyrolusite in the presence of charcoal.Manganese is a chemical element with symbol Mn and atomic number 25. It is not found as a free element in nature; it is often found in minerals in combination with iron. Manganese is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels.

You are very similar to iron.Ancient timesIron was discovered in ancient times.Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Its abundance in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production by fusion in high-mass stars, where it is the last element to be produced with release of energy before the violent collapse of a supernova, which scatters the iron into space.
• Co49923027_58.933194_2,8,15,2CobaltTransition metalYou are enthusiastic and dedicated, and others are easily influenced by you. Given any opportunity, you can throw your ability into full swing. You are just like cobalt.1735Cobalt compounds have been used since ancient times to produce blue glass and ceramics. The element, however, was first isolated in 1735 by Swedish chemist George Brandt. He showed it was the presence of the element cobalt that caused the blue color in glass.Cobalt is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27. Like nickel, cobalt is found in the Earth's crust only in chemically combined form, save for small deposits found in alloys of natural meteoric iron. The free element, produced by reductive smelting, is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal.
• Ni28982328_58.6934_2,8,16,2NickelTransition metalYou have great perseverance and yet at the same time you are able to adapt to different situations. Even in the face of conflict you can get on with others perfectly. You are just like nickel.1751Nickel was discovered in 1751 by Swedish chemist Axel Cronstedt in the mineral niccolite.Nickel is a chemical element with symbol Ni and atomic number 28. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard and ductile. Pure nickel, powdered to maximize the reactive surface area, shows a significant chemical activity, but larger pieces are slow to react with air under standard conditions because an oxide layer forms on the surface and prevents further corrosion (passivation). Even so, pure native nickel is found in Earth's crust only in tiny amounts, usually in ultramafic rocks, and in the interiors of larger nickel–iron meteorites that were not exposed to oxygen when outside Earth's atmosphere.
• Cu44760129_63.546_2,8,18,1CopperTransition metalYou have the air of mystery and deep thought, but you don't put too much weight on facts. Furthermore, you place importance on logic leading you to gut instinct. You are just like copper.Ancient timesCopper has been known of since ancient times.Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange color. It is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material and as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measurement.

You are certainly like zinc.Ancient timesZinc has been known of since ancient times.Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is the first element in group 12 of the periodic table. In some respects zinc is chemically similar to magnesium: both elements exhibit only one normal oxidation state (+2), and the Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions are of similar size. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest workable lodes are in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc is refined by froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning).
• Ga55953431_69.723_2,8,18,3GalliumPost-transition metalsYou are normally a little fragile, and trivial matters can send you into a downward spiral. But when faced with a serious issue, after the initial shock subsides, you are cool, calm and collected. You are very much like gallium.1875Gallium was discovered in Paris in 1875 by French chemist Paul E. Lecoq de Boisbaudran through a spectroscope. Its characteristic two violet lines identified it as a new element.Gallium is a chemical element with symbol Ga and atomic number 31. It is in group 13 of the periodic table, and thus has similarities to the other metals of the group, aluminium, indium, and thallium. Gallium does not occur as a free element in nature, but as gallium(III) compounds in trace amounts in zinc ores and in bauxite. Elemental gallium is a soft, silvery blue metal at standard temperature and pressure, a brittle solid at low temperatures, and a liquid at temperatures greater than 29.76 °C (85.57 °F) (slightly above room temperature). The melting point of gallium is used as a temperature reference point. The alloy galinstan (68.5% gallium, 21.5% indium, and 10% tin) has an even lower melting point of −19 °C (−2 °F), well below the freezing point of water.
• Ge15945432_72.63_2,8,18,4GermaniumMetalloidsYou often want to shrink into a corner and play the quiet observer. In fact your biggest fear is to be the center of attention. You are very similar to germanium.1886Germanium was discovered in German in 1886 by Clemens A. Winkler in a mineral sample from a silver mine. Analysis indicated the sample – a rare mineral called argyrodite – contained 73–75% silver, 17–18% sulfur, 0.2% mercury, and 6–7% a new element, which Winkler named germanium.Germanium is a chemical element with symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon. Pure germanium is a semiconductor with an appearance similar to elemental silicon. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature. Unlike silicon, it is too reactive to be found naturally on Earth in the free (elemental) state.
• As84634133_74.9215_2,8,18,5ArsenicMetalloidsWhen you're with those you know, you're quiet and reserved, but when you're in front of strangers you're open, outwardly optimistic and alluring. You are like arsenic.1250Arsenic compounds have been known for thousands of years since Ancient Greece and Rome. They were used by physicians and poisoners. It was first recognized as an element by alchemists, and credit for its actual discovery often goes to alchemist Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus, 1193-1280), who heated a common compound of arsenic, orpiment, with soap. Nearly pure arsenic was formed in the process.Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals, usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but also as a pure elemental crystal. Arsenic is a metalloid. It has various allotropes, but only the gray form is important to industry.

You're like bromine.1824Bromine was discovered in 1826 when French chemist Antoine Balard isolated it from chlorine."Bromine is a chemical element with symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is the third-lightest halogen, and is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured gas. Its properties are thus intermediate between those of chlorine and iodine. Isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig (in 1825) and Antoine Jérôme Balard (in 1826), its name was derived from the Ancient Greek βρῶμος "stench", referencing its sharp and disagreeable smell."

In cases where you do meet another unusual person, your own uniqueness is amplified. You are just like thulium.1878Thulium was discovered by Swedish chemist Per Teodor Cleve in 1879 while he was looking for impurities in the oxides of other rare earth elements.Thulium is a chemical element with symbol Tm and atomic number 69. It is the thirteenth and antepenultimate (third-last) element in the lanthanide series. Like the other lanthanides, the most common oxidation state is +3, seen in its oxide, halides and other compounds. In aqueous solution, like compounds of other late lanthanides, soluble thulium compounds form complexes with nine water molecules.

You are like ytterbium.1878Ytterbium was discovered in 1878 by Swiss chemist Jean Charles Galissard de Marignac. While examining samples of gadolinite, he found a new component in the earth then known as erbia, and he named it ytterbia, for Ytterby, the Swedish village near where he found the new component of erbium.Ytterbium is a chemical element with symbol Yb and atomic number 70. It is the fourteenth and penultimate element in the lanthanide series, which is the basis of the relative stability of its +2 oxidation state. However, like the other lanthanides, its most common oxidation state is +3, seen in its oxide, halides and other compounds. In aqueous solution, like compounds of other late lanthanides, soluble ytterbium compounds form complexes with nine water molecules. Because of its closed-shell electron configuration, its density and melting and boiling points differ from those of the other lanthanides.
• Lu43322471_174.9668_2,8,18,32,9,2LutetiumLanthanoidsYou pay more attention to the finer details than to the overall picture, and consequently you often fail to see the full story and make mistakes of judgement. This makes you like lutetium.1906Lutetium was independently discovered in 1907 by French scientist Georges Urbain, Austrian mineralogist Baron Carl Auer von Welsbach, and American chemist Charles James. All of these scientists found lutetium as an impurity in the mineral ytterbia, which was previously thought to consist entirely of ytterbium.Lutetium is a chemical element with symbol Lu and atomic number 71. It is a silvery white metal, which resists corrosion in dry, but not in moist air. It is the last element in the lanthanide series, and is traditionally counted among the rare earths. It is sometimes considered the first element of the 6th-period transition metals, although lanthanum is more often considered as such instead of lutetium.

You are like hafnium.1923Hafnium was finally discovered by George Charles de Hevesy and Dirk Coster in Copenhagen in 1923. It was found in a zirconium mineral, but it had proved very difficult to separate it from zirconium and thus why it had taken so long to be discovered.Hafnium is a chemical element with symbol Hf and atomic number 72. A lustrous, silvery gray, tetravalent transition metal, hafnium chemically resembles zirconium and is found in zirconium minerals. Its existence was predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, though it was not identified until 1923, making it the penultimate stable element to be discovered (rhenium was identified two years later). Hafnium is named after Hafnia, the Latin name for Copenhagen, where it was discovered.

You are like tantalum.1802Tantalum was discovered in 1802 by Swedish chemist Anders Gustaf Ekenberg. He found it in minerals obtained from Ytterby, Sweden. Many scientists, however, believed that he had only discovered an allotrope of niobium, an element that is chemically similar to tantalum.Tantalum is a chemical element with symbol Ta and atomic number 73. Previously known as tantalium, its name comes from Tantalus, a villain from Greek mythology. Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor components in alloys. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum. Its main use today is in tantalum capacitors in electronic equipment such as mobile phones, DVD players, video game systems and computers. Tantalum, always together with the chemically similar niobium, occurs in the minerals tantalite, columbite and coltan (a mix of columbite and tantalite).

You are gold through and through.Ancient timesKnown since ancient times.Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and the atomic number 79. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements, and is solid under standard conditions. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum) and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides).

A year later, both he and French chemist Claude Auguste Lamy independently isolated the element."Thallium is a chemical element with symbol Tl and atomic number 81. This soft gray post-transition metal is not found free in nature. When isolated, it resembles tin, but discolors when exposed to air. Chemists William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy discovered thallium independently in 1861, in residues of sulfuric acid production. Both used the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy, in which thallium produces a notable green spectral line. Thallium, from Greek θαλλός, thallos, meaning "a green shoot or twig," was named by Crookes. "

It is a soft, malleable, and heavy metal. Freshly cut solid lead has a bluish-white color that soon tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed to air; the liquid metal has shiny chrome-silver luster. Lead's density of 11.34 g/cm3 exceeds that of most common materials. Lead has the second highest atomic number of all practically stable elements. As such, lead is located at the end of some decay chains of heavier elements, which in part accounts for the relative abundance of lead: it exceeds those of other similarly-numbered elements.

In 1753, French chemist Claude Geoffroy the Younger established that it was an element in its own right rather than a form of lead.Bismuth is a chemical element with the symbol Bi and the atomic number 83. Bismuth, a pentavalent post-transition metal and one of the pnictogens, chemically resembles its lighter homologs arsenic and antimony. Elemental bismuth may occur naturally, although its sulfide and oxide form important commercial ores. The free element is 86% as dense as lead. It is a brittle metal with a silvery white color when freshly produced but is often seen in air with a pink tinge owing to surface oxidation.

Others are offended by you and yet you think everything is rosy. You are like polonium.1898Polonium was discovered in 1898 by Marie Curie while she was working in France. Polonium was the first element discovered by Curie and it was named after her birthplace, Poland.Polonium is a chemical element with symbol Po and atomic number 84. A rare and highly radioactive metal with no stable isotopes, polonium is chemically similar to selenium and tellurium, though it also shows resemblances to its horizontal neighbors thallium, lead, and bismuth due to its metallic character. Due to the short half-life of all its isotopes, its natural occurrence is limited to tiny traces of the fleeting polonium-210 (with a half-life of 138 days) in uranium ores, as it is the penultimate daughter of natural uranium-238. Though slightly longer-lived isotopes exist, they are much more difficult to produce. Today, polonium is more often produced in milligram quantities by the neutron irradiation of bismuth. Due to its intense radioactivity, which results in radiolysis of chemical bonds and immense radioactive self-heating, its chemistry has mostly been investigated on the trace scale only.

Marie Curie obtained radium from pitchblende, a material that contains uranium, after noticing that unrefined pitchblende was more radioactive than the uranium that was separated from it.Radium is a chemical element with symbol Ra and atomic number 88. It is the sixth element in group 2 of the periodic table, also known as the alkaline earth metals. Pure radium is silvery-white, but it readily combines with nitrogen (rather than oxygen) on exposure to air, forming a black surface layer of radium nitride (Ra3N2). All isotopes of radium are highly radioactive, with the most stable isotope being radium-226, which has a half-life of 1600 years and decays into radon gas (specifically the isotope radon-222). When radium decays, ionizing radiation is a product, which can excite fluorescent chemicals and cause radioluminescence.

A radioactive actinide metal, neptunium is the first transuranic element. Its position in the periodic table just after uranium, named after the planet Uranus, led to it being named after Neptune, the next planet beyond Uranus. A neptunium atom has 93 protons and 93 electrons, of which seven are valence electrons. Neptunium metal is silvery and tarnishes when exposed to air. The element occurs in three allotropic forms and it normally exhibits five oxidation states, ranging from +3 to +7.

It is the seventh transuranic element, and an actinide.Einsteinium was discovered as a component of the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Albert Einstein. Its most common isotope einsteinium-253 (half life 20.47 days) is produced artificially from decay of californium-253 in a few dedicated high-power nuclear reactors with a total yield on the order of one milligram per year. The reactor synthesis is followed by a complex process of separating einsteinium-253 from other actinides and products of their decay.
• Fm641274100_(257)_2,8,18,32,30,8,2FermiumActinideYou are a well-balanced person and don't like things that are too complicated or which cause you to waste use of your brain cells. You're just like fermium.1952Fermium was discovered in 1952 by a team of scientists led by Albert Ghiorso while they were studying the radioactive debris produced by the detonation of the first hydrogen bomb.Fermium is a synthetic element with symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is a member of the actinide series. It is the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared. A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.
• Md552884101_(258)_2,8,18,32,31,8,2MendeleviumActinideYou can be excessively rational, but your are warm and friendly toward other people. Consequently others can be confounded by your apparent contradictions. You're just like mendelevium.1955Mendelevium was the ninth synthetic transuranium element of the actinide series to be discovered. It was first identified in 1955 at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California by Albert Ghiorso, Bernard Harvey, Gregory Choppin, Stanley Thompson, and Glenn Seaborg.Mendelevium is a synthetic element with chemical symbol Md (formerly Mv) and atomic number 101. A metallic radioactive transuranic element in the actinide series, it is the first element that currently cannot be produced in macroscopic quantities through neutron bombardment of lighter elements. It is the third-to-last actinide and the ninth transuranic element. It can only be produced in particle accelerators by bombarding lighter elements with charged particles. A total of sixteen mendelevium isotopes are known, the most stable being 258Md with a half-life of 51 days; nevertheless, the shorter-lived 256Md (half-life 1.27 hours) is most commonly used in chemistry because it can be produced on a larger scale.
• No333354102_(259)_2,8,18,32,32,8,2NobeliumActinideYou're a relatively low-key person, and have a lot in common with most other people. You are content with your life. You're just like nobelium.1957 – 1958In 1957, an international panel of scientists from the United Kingdom, Sweden, and the United States first reported the formation of Element 102, which had given rise to a heated debate. In 1958 the University of California scientists finally proved its existence. Nobelium is named after Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.Nobelium is a synthetic chemical element with symbol No and atomic number 102. It is named in honor of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite and benefactor of science. A radioactive metal, it is the tenth transuranic element and is the penultimate member of the actinide series. Like all elements with atomic number over 100, nobelium can only be produced in particle accelerators by bombarding lighter elements with charged particles. A total of twelve nobelium isotopes are known to exist; the most stable is 259No with a half-life of 58 minutes, but the shorter-lived 255No (half-life 3.1 minutes) is most commonly used in chemistry because it can be produced on a larger scale.
• Lr433054103_(262)_2,8,18,32,32,8,3LawrenciumActinideOther people see you as a little cold. You don't really like talking to those around you and are very independent. You're just like lawrencium.1961Lawrencium is named after Ernest Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron, which was instrumental in the discovery of many elements. It was discovered in 1961 at the University of California, Berkeley, by Albert Ghiorso, Torbjørn Sikkeland, Almon Larsh and Robert Latimer.Lawrencium is a synthetic chemical element with chemical symbol Lr (formerly Lw) and atomic number 103. It is named in honor of Ernest Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron, a device that was used to discover many artificial radioactive elements. A radioactive metal, lawrencium is the eleventh transuranic element and is also the final member of the actinide series. Like all elements with atomic number over 100, lawrencium can only be produced in particle accelerators by bombarding lighter elements with charged particles. Twelve isotopes of lawrencium are currently known; the most stable is 266Lr with a half-life of 11 hours, but the shorter-lived 260Lr (half-life 2.7 minutes) is most commonly used in chemistry because it can be produced on a larger scale.
