What is hydrogen?
This element is named after the scientist Rutherford.
What is Rutherfordium?
Life on earth as we know it are this-based organisms.
What is carbon?
The atomic mass of an atom is usually the number of protons it has, plus the number of this neutral particle.
What is a neutron?
Co.
What is cobalt?
Period 2, Group 17
What is fluorine?
Named after the Titans from Greek myth, this metal is known for it strength.
What is titanium?
Humans and other creatures require this gas to breathe in order to live.
What is oxygen?
Protons and neutrons add together to be the atomic mass. This negatively charged particle is so small, chemists don't even count it!
What is the electron?
