Too much time. To make it a quiz about Greek and not about guessing, make it 2 or 3 minutes.

The Greek letter eta (Η) does not correspond to the Latin letter H. Silicon should not contain a chi. Magnesium is missing a sigma.

It may be more interesting to find the Greek names for the elements http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A0%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%BF%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C%CF%82_%CF%80%CE%AF%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%82

Chi is not C; use Kappa for C. Upsilon is not U; use Omikron+Upsilon for U. Eta is not H; unfortunately, there is no Greek letter that you can use to substitute H.

I'm in no way an expert on Greek, but I understand that a diacritical mark ` is used for the H sound. for example helium would be transliterated as `ηλιυμ or `ελιυμ.

I don't think it accepted aluminium for aluminum. Also, way too much time. Otherwise interesting.
