1. What is /are the longest word(s) you can come up with, using the atomic symbols in order?	Answer
2. What letter doesn't appear in any of the symbols which are found in the periodic table of elements?	Answer
3. Can you find a chemical formula that is a palindrome?	Answer
4. Find the name of an element, using only the letters of the symbols in the periodic table. How many can you find.	Answer
5. I numbered the letters of the alphabet like (a=1, b=2, ..., z=26) and I noticed that the word cab shows a particular characteristic: an equal sign can be inserted between the c and the a such that the following expression would be valid: c=a+b, since c(3) = a(1) + b(2). I worked further on this and found that there are many other words with this peculiarity, one of them being: TAPE => t+a=p+e. Can you find the longest word that satisfies this rule?	Answer
6. Which metal element would you find if you were to subtract the atomic mass of the fifth noble gas from the total atomic masses of the remaining gasses & then take away the lightest element's atomic number?	Answer
7. silver = 7 gold = 21 iron = 30 copper = 63 brass = ??	Answer
8. If Iron - Beryllium = 64 how much is Carbon + Calcium?	Answer
9. 5 - 4 = Iron What is 6 - 9 = ?	Answer
10. Substituting A=1 b=2 ... z=26, these four elements give the same product. Name the four elements ? Example CU = 3*21 =63	Answer
11. Each of 5 merchants, whose names were STEEL, GOLD, SILVER, IRON and COPPER, sent a consignment of his commodity to one of the others, none sending to and receiving from the same person.

12. In his first chemistry class, Albert Knobel has learned that in every chemical equation all letters on the left must also be seen on the right. He looked at Mendeleev's periodic table of elements and thought he could easily make gold. He immediately had his equation for a reaction and planned getting the materials. What were these and what was the by-product he foresaw?	Answer 19
13. Find 2 letters which will go in the same order in front of: LC, ES, or DM and 3 letters in the same order that go again after all of those to make 3 of a kind.	Answer 19
