This is the sequel to my 'Element Pair by Beginning Pair' quiz. Thanks again to puckett86 for the inspiration of this quiz. If I missed any please comment. Thank you and enjoy!

Did anybody first think of "thorium & thulium & thallium" when taking this quiz? I sure did.

I usually approach these quizzes by typing the first letter of the element, then each possible second letter until the symbol rings a bell. That said, it friggin' figures that I miss "N" for nitrogen.

I'ts bizarre that Rutherfordium and Mendelevium are somehow more gotten than Nitrogen and Mercury.

True sign of Sporclitis: I got them all except for nitrogen.

@jago Totally; I can thank Lehrer for that one. Unlike the pairs one, the really odd ones like Praseodymium got me, as opposed to missing Tin, Silver, and Iron in the other.

I think "mercury" is tough because it doesn't even in "ium". I'm thinking "me...ium?" It was the second to last one I got.

It also has a different symbol than its letters, so if anyone is looking through a periodic table it won't jump out at them.

Great idea for a quiz! I imagine the trio that sparked the thought was the Th- group. I've always thought they sounded funny when said together.

Thanks goodness for Tom Lehrer's song The Elements. "...and iodine, and thorium, and thulium, and thallium..."

@Crawl: I did the same thing! And for "Th-" I kept thinking of threonine. And I had to keep telling myself, no, that's an amino acid, not an element.

How did I manage to remember thulium and miss nitrogen? I'll never know.

Ah, Sporcle. The things you cause me to do, like remember Praseodymium and forget Copper...

Even as I was typing it, I was about 40% certain I was making up Rutherfordium. I picked a scientist starting with "Ru" at random (not that there are that many), and what do you know.

I got 23 in 75 seconds, and spend 3 minutes getting Rubidium. Weird.
