Chemical Symbols

30 to find

Match 30 element symbols to their elements. A symbol such as Fe or Ag appears, and you click the right element on a grid before five minutes are up. Many are obvious once you see them, but the Latin ones are where people slip. Lead's symbol Pb comes from plumbum, the same root that gives us the word plumber, because Roman water pipes were made of lead.
