Aw, I was really hoping that europium and iodine were named after solar system bodies.

I just went to take this quiz and the first thing I typed in didn't work right. You accept cerium (for being named after the asteroid Ceres) but you do NOT accept palladium (which is named after the asteroid Pallas), so that category has at least 9 things in it. Also, octatomic is spelled wrong. Also, it is unclear for many of those elements if they were named after the gods or the planets, since some of those names go back very far in time. Mercury may or may not be named for the planet.

@sproutcm: Thanks for the note, it seems I trusted an unreliable source for the namesakes. I've switched out the category for Nobel Prize-winning namesakes (and fixed the misspelling).

The should've stuck with the "ytt"s on the other two elements named for that town. They would be much more fun than erbium and terbium. (Yttronium, yttrittyium, yttyryytrium... really, the possibilities are endless.)

Admittedly, yttryytterbonyttrium would make one truly epic spelling bee word.

Maybe they should have done mixed words--tbyrteium, anyone?

Gadolinium is ferromagnetic at room temperature (20 C).

That's a little below what I was thinking of as room temperature, so I've changed the question to 300K to be clear--thanks.
