Be careful what you ask for. You might win 1kg of Canadium and 3 Porcupine
caribou. All arriving on the same truck!

Unfortunately, Dr. Christian found, much to his detriment, that energized
Canadium reacts violently with the dander of Porcupine caribou.  The
resulting explosion and shock wave leveled the forest for a kilometer in
every direction.  Truly a tragic scientific loss.

Best thing I have heard in ages! Good one!

I am fairly certain that everyone will have missed Canadium (Ci53.5),
another of the half fractional elements.  This element occurs between Iodine
and Xenon in the periodic Table.  Atmospheric concentrations of Ci have been
known to enhance the aurora borealis, which is why it is so brilliant in
Canada.  Canadium was first isolated by Dr. Bennett Christian (believed to
be an ancestor of Dr. Bev Christian) at the University of Canada in Aklavik
(Yukon) in 1849.  Concentrating air samples in northern Yukon, where
Canadium is more prevalent, Dr. Christian was able to get a concentrated
sample for spectral analysis.  Unfortunately, Dr. Christian found, much to
his detriment, that energized Canadium reacts violently with the dander of
Porcupine caribou.  The resulting explosion and shock wave leveled the
forest for a kilometer in every direction.  Truly a tragic scientific loss.

So, Dave, what do I win this week?

Subject: Element Quiz Question


The Element Quiz winner gets the services of our outstanding/amazing gnomes
Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week (they have had their vaccination shots and
can follow any covid-19 protocols the winner decides).



The Question:



The names of the elements are derived from a wide number of sources. This
week we are looking for the elements that are named after countries. Note -
there is one element where the being named after a country is an indirect
derivation. Name the elements that are named after countries.





The winner of the Quiz will get the assistance of the boys for the week.
Please let us know what tasks you have for the boys to keep them busy.
