Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question



 The Question:

This element is a by-product from nickel and copper mining. When this element is exposed to air it forms an extremely toxic and objectionable fume/odor. This element is the least abundant stable element in Earth's crust, with an average mass fraction of 50 parts per trillion in the continental crust. An alloy that includes this element was used for the tips of phonograph styli during the late 78 rpm and early "LP" record days.

Which element is being described?

Week 59 Drew Meyer, Benchmark

-  Wow!  Simply amazing timing.  Our leader will be gone next week so we will be two people doing the work of three.  The boys will be greatly appreciated.  The good news for them is that we finally have some decent weather here.  Will have to get them some time outside to enjoy it!



Week 60 Leland Woodall

- Just in time for Memorial Day!  I can see the guys mowing, trimming bushes, cleaning cars, and exercising their grilling skills.  I might mix in a little work at the plant next week, just for good measure.



Week 61 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly

- Really great!  The boys can help me moving many boxes with old technical journals in a cellar, assist me with learning Altium, they can rescue the frogs which my black tomcat catches nightly as toy and last not least they help me putting antibiotic pills into our red tomcat twice a day (now this is really a quite hard task).



Week 62 ????

- assisted with ????





I hope everyone has a awesome week!
