Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question a day early (I am
taking vacation on Friday to whitewater kayak):
The Question:
References of this element can be traced back to documentation from
ancient Babylon, Egypt and Rome. This element is used to make cosmetics
have a silky feel and yet is the basis for many industry abrasives.
Compounds of this element are being investigated as a treatment for
brain tumors. This element is essential for plants and is added to
fertilizers.
This element is the basis for an insecticide for ants and cockroaches.
This element has two naturally occurring isotopes with neither being
radioactive. What element is being described?
