Periodic Table
This is the chemical symbol for the element Antimony
What is Sb?
In an electrochemical cell, this electrode is where reduction occurs.
What is the cathode?
This chemical, used in the production of plastics, is created by polymerizing ethylene.
What is polyethylene?
This transition metal is found in pineapples.
What is manganese?
This gas is highly toxic and is said to have a similar scent to almonds
What is cyanide gas?
The symbol Ra represents this element
What is Radium?
The slowest step in a multi-step reaction mechanism is referred to as this.
What is the rate-determining step?
This process, used in the production of ammonia, involves the combination of nitrogen
and hydrogen gases under high pressure and temperature with an iron catalyst.
What is the Haber-Bosch process?
This is one colour in which a Chromium complex could be.
What is orange?
What is blue?
What is green?
This group 14 element is commonly used to determine the age of objects.
What is carbon?
Name any element whose symbol fits the following series: He (Helium), Be
(Beryllium),…?
Possible answers include:
- Ne (Neon)
- Fe (Iron)
- Ge (Germanium)
- Se (Selenium)
- Te (Tellurium)
- Xe (Xenon)
- Re (Rhenium)
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing pressure will favour the side of a
reaction with fewer of these.

This common cleaning agent, made from sodium hydroxide and chlorine, is used in bleach
What is sodium hypochlorite?
This transition metal is involved in rusting.
What is iron?

In organic chemistry, the reaction where a hydroxyl group (-OH) is replaced by a
halide ion is called this.
What is a substitution reaction?
This process involves using hydrogen gas to convert unsaturated fats (alkenes) into
saturated fats (alkanes), making them more solid at room temperature.
What is hydrogenation?
This transition metal's compounds are used to produce blue in ceramics and glass
What is Cobalt?
Kendrick Lamar said "Pour up (Drank)" in his hit song Swimming Pools. Between methanol and ethanol, this is the one which can we "pour up".
What is ethanol?
