Elements Word Search
Eighty chemical elements make up this list, from hydrogen and helium through molybdenum, dysprosium, technetium and zirconium. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.
One Swedish quarry named four of them. The village of Ytterby, on an island near Stockholm, produced an odd black rock in the 1780s that turned out to hold several unknown metals, and chemists divided the place name up between them: yttrium, ytterbium, terbium and erbium. Two of those four are on this list, and no other village comes close.
The symbols are where older languages survive. Tungsten is W, from the German wolfram; sodium is Na from natrium and potassium is K from kalium; gold, silver, iron, copper and lead all take their letters from Latin rather than English. Mercury is Hg, from hydrargyrum, Greek for water-silver, which is the same picture the English word quicksilver paints.
The free PDF suits a chemistry warm-up. Online, a different run of elements comes up each round.
