Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This substance is shiny and very valuable. People pay a lot of money for it and use it to make jewelry. What substance am I speaking of?

Answer: gold

Iron is also what we call a periodic element like gold but it is less valuable. Table salt is a compound made from sodium and chlorine. Baked beans has nothing to do with this!
2. Pipes used to be made of this but they don't usually make them from this substance anymore as they realised it poisoned people. What substance am I talking of?

Answer: lead

Metals are substances which cover most of the periodic table and lead is a metal. A very, very long time ago they used to make pipes out of bricks but that's not what I am talking about.
3. What is the substance used in pencils that allows you to write with them?

Answer: carbon

Carbon in the form of graphite is what is used in pencils. Calcium and iron don't wear off so easily and so are not good for writing with. Chocolate! Hmmmmmm why would anybody waste that on homework?!
4. A lot of our bones are made up of this.

Answer: calcium

Bones made of uranium? No, no, no, that would kill us! Lead; that is definitely NOT good for our bodies. Calcium is what I was looking for. Along with magnesium and zinc, it is very important for healthy bones.
5. This element is the most abundant element in the universe and is essential for our life.

Answer: hydrogen

All these elements are essential for our life but hydrogen is the most abundant. Stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
6. What is the formula for carbon dioxide?

Answer: CO2

CO is carbon monoxide. There is no such compound as CaO2 and there isn't an element with the chemical symbol Ox.
7. What compound is essential for our life?

Answer: water

Xylyl bromide is poisonous. Bleach is also poisonous. Iron oxide is basically rust but water is essential for all life.
8. What is the name of the crystallised sugar that you would find in the sugar tin in your cupboard?

Answer: sucrose

Lactose is actually found in milk. That's why there is a slight sweetness in milk. There's actually a syrup made from fructose and glucose.
9. What is a compound that is harmful to us if we have too much of it?

Answer: caffeine

Water is essential to our lives. Crisps are definitely NOT a chemical. Dioxygen (O2) is actually essential to us. People just call it oxygen but it's actually dioxygen. Caffeine is found in chocolate, cola and coffee. It can cause sleeping problems and is harmful to us if too much is consumed.
10. What is the name of the alcohol found in beer that is harmful to us if too much is consumed?

Answer: ethanol

Methanol is an alcohol and is also poisonous, but it is not found in beer. Whiskey is an alcoholic drink. Caffeine is not an alcohol but it can still be harmful. Ethanol is the answer. It is very dangerous to consume too much of it.
