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:

This element was the first element to be made artificially. One of this element's isotopes has a half life of 6 hours and is used to diagnose cancers of the intestine. From 1828 to 1908,  6 people claimed to have discovered this element but in 1925 German scientists "discovered" this element and named it "masurium". Their claim was discounted as incorrect until 1938 when it was finally "discovered" by researchers at the University of Palermo (they named it "panormium"). World production of this element is in the tons as it can be extracted from spent nuclear fuel rods but only very tiny amounts are used commercially. What element is being described?





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.
