This element was originally in 7-up and is used to cure bipolar disorder it is also found in batteries.

Lithium

A compound of this element is an active ingredient in Pepto Bismol.

Bismuth

Around half of the world's supply of this element is found in compound form in the Mojave Desert of California. In compound form it is the 2nd hardest material after diamond that is used as a super abrasive.

Boron

This element is commonly found in chalk, limestone, and marble. It is also an essential element for humans to maintain healthy bones and teeth. It is also found in antacid tablets.

Calcium

These 2 elements are components in hard water. What effect does hard water have?

Calcium and Magnesium; Soap scum

Graphite and diamond are 2 forms that this element can take.

Carbon

This element is a deadly gas but in compound form is used as a bleaching agent.

This inner transition metal is one of the strongest natural magnets.

Neodymium

About 78% of the atmosphere is composed of this element. It is also a component in TNT and fertilizers.

Nitrogen

What is the most abundant element on Earth? In the universe?

Oxygen; Hydrogen

This chalcogen group element is used as a die supplement and is found in fish, eggs, and grains. It is thought to inhibit the growth of cancer and prevent cell damage. It is also used in solar panels since it can convert light into electricity and in photocopiers to create the image of the item being copied.

Selenium

This element is in glass and sand as well as the semi-conductor in computer chips.

Silicon

This element creates the red in fireworks.

Strontium

This element's oxide reacts with water vapor to produce acid rain. It is also used in compound form to preserve fruit. It smells like rotten eggs.
