What is Static Electricity?
Elements in the very last column on the right side of the table, like Helium and Neon, are known by this "regal" family name because they rarely react with other elements.
What are Nobel gasses?
Sir Isaac Newton stated that for every action, there is an equal and opposite one of these.
What is Reaction?

What are Conductors?
This liquid metal, formerly used in thermometers and known as "quicksilver," uses the symbol Hg from its Greek name hydrargyrum.
What is Mercury?
This term describes the tendency of an object to resist changes to its state of motion, famously outlined in Newton's First Law.
