Hillman Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 7:09 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC - Friday Elemental Trivia Question Hi Technet! I suppose I'll get in trouble for posting a NTC message but it is science based and fun in a engineering fashion. Here is the Friday elemental quiz question: Q: There is one element in row 14 of the Periodic table that prior to 1945, the world production totaled less than 200 kg/year. However, after Brattain's discovery in 1947, this element's importance skyrocketed. Who am I? The first person with the correct answer will get to have access to Doug's Diet Mt. Dew supply!
