SUMMARY
The forum discussion revolves around the "It's Elemental! The Periodic Table Quiz," where participants share their scores and insights on specific questions. The quiz consists of 12 questions, with participants reporting scores ranging from 4 to 12 points. Notably, there is debate over the correct answers for questions regarding the rarest element and the historical context of the periodic table. Users also discuss the significance of elements like ununoctium (now known as Oganesson) and francium, highlighting the quiz's educational value in reinforcing knowledge of chemistry.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of the periodic table and its historical development.
- Familiarity with elemental properties and classifications, such as actinides and transition metals.
- Knowledge of rare elements and their occurrence in nature.
- Basic chemistry concepts, including atomic structure and element symbols.
- Research the historical contributions of Dmitri Mendeleev to the periodic table.
- Explore the properties and applications of rare elements like francium and ununoctium.
- Learn about the classification of elements within the periodic table, focusing on actinides and transition metals.
- Study the significance of the periodic table in modern chemistry education and its role in scientific discovery.
Chemistry students, educators, and enthusiasts interested in enhancing their understanding of the periodic table and its elements will benefit from this discussion.

It seems to me that the lightest of all metals is solid Hydrogen, that is, when pressures are high enough, and temperatures are low enough as we see in the cores of gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. When pressures are low, and temperatures are high, all metals become a liquid, and then (in the extreme) a gas. The lightest solid metal at normal temperatures and pressures is certainly Lithium, but that's not what the question asks, is it?

I was wondering, wasn't Astatine the rarest element on Earth?

6 at most and doing it again right after that results in only 3 or 4, something really wrong with my mind. I really love to work with those who could reach up 8-12

Your performance has been rated as Competent.
For most of the incorrect responses, #4, #9, #11 - did not have sufficient information to make a correct selection. Probability did not land in my favor.
For #6, the info seemed present but not to the point of selection of the correct answer. The kind of question I intend to focus on to improve problem-solving skills.
So 1 to 2 semi-guess / estimates that turned out correct. #2 and #7.
6 correct responses from high level of certainty of knowledge. #1, #3, #5, #8, #10, #12.
