	Add the American spelling for number 13 as an alternate.

	Since there is already a periodic table quiz, I think this quiz would be better as a 1 or 2 minute quiz to see how quickly people can recall the first 20 elements. I'd also suggest doing away with the symbol column, or having the symbols appear as an extra column (which only appears after you get the name). It's annoying when you type the second element, only to see that instead the symbols for the 2nd and 3rd elements appeared.

	Having the symbols as answers is really annoying, on top of which, it doesn't even allow you to type the symbols when they're only one letter. Oh yeah, and number 13 only accepts the British spelling.

	It's a little irritating that the single-letter symbols need a space to be accepted, whereas the double-letter ones are accepted automatically, leaving me with such gems as "lcium" and "gon"... And if it was me, I'd make you do them in order.

	Take out the symbols, or have those show up when elements are guessed. It's really annoying typing in things like "carbon", only to leave me with "rbon" and that calcium is also an answer

	I agree with the comments above on the symbols -- it's an annoying distraction, and the space requirement for the "second letter" of one-letter symbols took awhile to figure out. Aluminum and Sulfur should be acceptable spellings. The "shorter time" and "going in order" comments are also intriguing -- I think they would make this quiz more fun. And why the first 20? 20 seems so arbitrary.

	This quiz was poorly made...2 minutes tops for the time. Just have the elements and all accepted spellings. Why not do like a transition metals? or metalloids? or non metals quiz?

	i typed in k and h and nothing happened, but thats probably sporcle's fault.

	I think you need to check accept one-letter answers.

	too much time - 2 mins is right.

	aluminium?

	bumpgrrl:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 03:28 GMT	1 point
	In the interest of being a total an utter nerd, aluminium and aluminum should both be accepted, since they are both acceptable variants under IUPAC, although aluminium is the preferable official name. Sulfur should just be sulfur; sulphur is not officially recognized under IUPAC.

	Either make it 1 minute and take the symbols only or 2 minutes and take the names only. Since the symbol is usually the first two letters, it's a distraction to have both.
