I missed year of periodic table, first element synthesized, and which letter wasn't in the periodic table.
Ha, ha, I beat you in this area. It's J.
But for the other answers? Flunked many of them :oldlaugh:

What other scores did members get?
I got 10 out of 11.
 
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?

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 :nb)
 
Congratulations – you have completed Periodic Table Quiz.

You scored 8 points out of 12 points total.

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.

Some guesses panned out fine - others didn't
