ChemMatters Puzzle: Deciphering Chemical ElementsBelow you’ll see ten common words or phrases. Hidden inside each is the name of an element. To find it, remove one letter from the term, and then unscramble the remaining letters. For example, given the word CROPPED. If one drops the “D” out, the remaining letters are an anagram of COPPER. Similarly, the phrase NO ONE generates NEON if you drop out one of the O’s. Note that the dropped letter may be anywhere in the clue and the remaining letters are in no special order, nor do they necessarily contain the element’s symbol in their midst. Here’s one more hint: The sum of the atomic numbers of the five elements in the left column is 257, and in the right-hand column 220. Have fun deciphering!
