| Did some work on Microsoft Excel - There are only 48 elemental names that "contain" smaller names &/or can be found in larger names within the same group. 15 elements contain the word "tin", and 11 contain "iron." Ytterbium, of course, contains three names, but erbium can be found in three others (berkelium, beryllium, seaborgium). Roentgenium contains nitrogen, which in turn contains tin, iron & neon. Protactinium has tin, iron, actinium & titanium. Gadolinium contains gold & indium, two words not found in any other element... I think that's enough trivia for this comment. |
