Tungsten doesn't end in "gen" also why are Oxygen and hydrogen in 2 groups

Hydrogen, Oxygen and Tungsten (?!) are under "n" and "gen", put them under one each. Also brace yourself for complaints about Alumin(i)um...

So what's the criteria to make this list in the first place? There's plenty more elements not included at all

Fixed hydrogen,oxygen,tungsten. What elements are missing? Besides all the iums. Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I believe that the "ium" elements end in "um". I understand what the category means but specify for other quiz takers.

You might want to mention somewhere that you're using the American English spellings, or Brits taking the quiz'll have trouble with the first -um element.

I agree with Nafets. Although Americans and Canadians spell and pronounce it aluminum, the official spelling and the one most of the rest of the world uses is auminium.

I've never even heard of "auminium", pretty sure more than 2 countries spell it "aluminum"

Since aluminum is in every american and canadian textbook, maybe it should be a bonus question under "um" not "ium"? I've never even heard of aluminium, at least not since I first learned the periodic table in sixth grade.

Trust me ... if you specify American English, as you do, then the 13th element is Aluminum. I've checked my chemistry, physics, and chemical engineering texts from college and high school; not a single aluminium.
