This is a great idea for a quiz. I would love it if it included all the elements that are not spelled the same in English (minus diacritical marks) for completeness. This periodic table has a few of the others, many of which just have differences in how they end.

| I didn't really feel like including all of the incredibly simple ones, so I just put a few in, and the rest are the more challenging ones |

| Knowing the chemical symbols was pretty helpful here. That, and good old-fashioned cognates. |

| i never knew that the english version of Soufre was spelt with an 'f' and not a 'ph'. i tried the ph version and didn't get a tick, but didn't think to try the f version. learn something new everyday. |

| I was stumped on Azote until I remembered azides. I had wondered where that name came from. Thanks, Sporcle! |

| @beatrickiddo, it does have a ph in British English, but not American. Sporcle rarely includes British spellings of elements, which always confuses me for a few seconds. |

| Nice quiz. Lazy French not putting "ine" on their halogens. |

| I admit, I tried "Ethane" for Étain. |

| The only one I didn't get right away was Azote, so I started to list the best known elements and got it quite quickly. |

| azote (lifeless) was the name Lavoisier gave for Nitrogen since animals die and fire is extinguished in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. |

| Great quiz. For "azote" I actually remembered it from recalling azo dyes, before recalling azides. It never occurred to me before to search up where "azo" and "azide" came from. Another daily dose of knowledge from Sporcle. |

| Yes, I tried "antimonk" for "antimoine". |
