Word Elements

I really liked this graphic from Edutopia; they call it "Essential Elements for Every Classroom" ... as in elements from the periodic table of chemical elements!

I thought this might be fun for people who are in chemistry class, seeing the periodic table of elements as being made up of word elements too... kind of like Scrabble.

Of course, not all of the elements are really useful for making up words, and there are some elements that would be useful but which do not exist... still, it is possible to find words in there!

Here is an alphabetical list to make it easier to see what you have to work with, and you can find the chemical number to then look them up in a periodic table and grab the elements you need:

Ac - Ag - Al - Am - Ar - As - At - Au - B - Ba - Be - Bh - Bi - Bk - Br - C - Ca - Cd -  - Cf - Cl - Cm - Cn - Co - Cr - Cs - Cu - Db - Ds - Dy - Er - Es - Eu - F - Fe - Fl - Fm - Fr - Ga - Gd - Ge - H - He - Hf - Hg - Ho - Hs - I - In - Ir - K - Kr - La - Li - Lr - Lu - Lv - Md - Mg - Mn - Mo - Mt - N - Na - Nb - Nd - Ne - Ni - No - Np - O - Os - P - Pa - Pb - Pd - Pm - Po - Pr - Pt - Pu - Ra - Rb - Re - Rf - Rg - Rh - Rn - Ru - S - Sb - Sc - Se - Sg - Si - Sm - Sn - Sr - Ta - Tb - Tc - Te - Th - Ti - Tl - Tm - U - Uuo - Uup - Uus - Uut - V - W - Xe - Y - Yb - Zn - Zr

I found my name in the table. It's kind of weird to think of myself as being made up on elements like uranium and radium: eeeek!
