I recently discovered that I was uncertain about which substances were elements, which were alloys, which were compounds, which were fictitious names, etc. Hence this little quiz. Which of the following are chemical elements, i.e., in the periodic table of elements? Which (if any) are fictitious? Answers appear here.
Please feel free to suggest other substances for this list!
