Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The country that this element name represents receives the highest number of tourists a year.

Answer: Fr

Francium(Fr). Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and romantic tourist destinations, this country registers about 70 million tourist arrivals every year! Spain comes second followed by the US, Italy, China and the UK. The other options given are : Am - Americium, Ge - Germanium and In - Indium.

2. Jumble the symbols of these elements and enter the name of a state of the US : Hydrogen, Uranium, Tantalum.

Answer: Utah

Uranium, Tantalum, Hydrogen (U-Ta-H). This is the state where the Great Salt Lake is located. Tantalum is one of the handful of elements that have melting point above 3000 C. Its MP is about 3270 C compared to the highest - carbon, at 3800 C.

3. Sandwiched between two large countries, this nation is famous for mountaineering expeditions and religious tourism.

Answer: Neon, Phosphorus, Aluminium

Ne-P-Al. Nestled in the mighty Himalayas, this tourist paradise is a landlocked country with India to the south and the Tibet region of China to the north. The other options given are : Bhutan, China and Iran.

4. This city is the capital of the ancient country that straddles Africa and Asia.

Answer: Calcium, Iridium, Oxygen

Ca-Ir-O, Egypt, a cradle of human civilization and 'The Gift of the Nile'. Ancient Egypt was very advanced in chemistry.- the 'mummification' process is a good example. So is metallurgy. Also, the ancient Egyptians worked with various uncommon metals like antimony, mercury and tin.

5. Jumble the symbols of these elements and enter the capital of the central European country that hasn't joined the European Union : Erbium, Nitrogen, Boron

Answer: Bern

Boron, Erbium, Nitrogen (B-Er-N). Also spelt as 'Berne'. Interestingly, Switzerland didn't even join the UN for more than half a century. Such is its love for neutrality that the beautiful Alpine state has refused to join the EU.

6. In which country does South America's longest river originate?

Answer: Phosphorus, Erbium, Uranium

P-Er-U. The heart of the Inca empire, Peru is an Andean paradise. Many rivers originate in this country that has large unexplored gas reserves. In fact, the Amazon rainforest is one of the largest in the world and is a crucial sink for CO2, thus regulating atmospheric composition.

7. Name the westernmost Canadian territory that borders Alaska.

Answer: Yttrium, Uranium, Potassium, Oxygen, Nitrogen

Y-U-K-O-N. British Columbia also shares a long border with Alaska. Interestingly, Canada has land borders only with Uranium-Sulfur!.

Editor's Note: Please do not send a correction saying the answer spells YUPON. It does not. Using the chemical symbols, "Yttrium, Uranium, Potassium, Oxygen, Nitrogen" spells YUKON. If you substitute Krypton for Potassium the word spelled would be YUKrON.

8. This is the second largest Eurasian country that is one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Answer: Carbon, Hydrogen, Iodine, Sodium

C-H-I-Na. Expanding at nearly 10% annually, China's economy is driving world growth. Home to 1.4 billion people, this ancient country was also very advanced in chemistry just like Egypt. Gun powder, modern paper etc. were invented in China.

9. Georgia is the name of a Caucasian country as well as a state of the US. The capital of the state is Atlanta. What is the capital of the country?

Answer: Terbium, Iodine, Lithium, Sulphur, Iodine

Tb-I-Li-S-I. The country lies on the shores of the Black Sea though Tbilisi itself is further inland, near to Azerbaijan. The Caucasian and Caspian regions are rich in gas and oil.

10. Which European island country produces most of its power from renewable sources?

Answer: Iodine, Cerium, Lanthanum, Neodymium

I-Ce-La-Nd. The 'icy' island is a study of natural contrasts. It is a volcanic island but it's almost wholly covered by an ice cap. Hot springs, geysers and volcanoes are common here. Also, Iceland produces a very large portion of its energy through geothermal and hydroelectric means. The route to a cleaner future!
