Tonight's Topic: "It's Elemental, My Dear Dr. Watson -- #01: Precious Metals"
Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
-- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and LW [K7LWA]

| Oh, What the Heck -- here's another Email Special just for YOU! Have FUN NOW! and just email us your answers to: K7LWA.INS@gmail.com |
For tonight's Net, we have shifted gears to explore a new topic -- The Periodic Table of Elements (get it?).
OK, OK, just relax!
No, you're not back in your high school science lab where some jerk poured a little hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the radiator and they had to evacuate the school to clear out that smell of rotten eggs.
Instead, we'll be exploring some of the interesting stuff (we hope) about the 115 Elements that hang out on (or near) the Periodic Table.
OK, so how much do you know about the Elements you can take to the bank and make that "Ker-Chingk" sound -- the Precious Metals?
Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.
++ "It's Elemental, My Dear Dr. Watson -- #01: Precious Metals" ++
Question #1: Our 1st element has been the most prized precious metal throughout human history. It is usually found in relatively pure form. The Republican presidential candidate in 1964 looked to the Periodic Table of elements for the now iconic campaign graphic AuH2O which appeared on T-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, etc. What's the name of this element denoted by the chemical symbol "Au"?
A. Gold, or
B. Diamond, or
C. Uranium
Question #2: First found in ornaments and tombs dating as far back as 4000 BCE, and used for coins around 600 BCE, this 2nd precious metal, when mixed with the metal ("Au") in Question #1, makes that metal "whiter" (which some people prefer wearing, instead of its naturally occuring "yellow" color). What's the chemical symbol of this element?
A. Ag, or
B. Si, or
C. Sv
Question 3: This 3rd precious metal is listed just before Gold on the Periodic Table. In the 1500s, Spanish explorers in Columbia (SA) first discovered this shiny white element and named it "Platina del Pinto" which means "little silver of the Pinto River". Can you give us its name and chemical symbol of this element?
A. Platinum [Pt], or
B. Plutonium [Pu], or
C. Polonium [Po]
