Elemental Food For Thought
Mr. Moore has been sent to the grocery store to buy some
food for the week. However, his list somehow got all jumbled
and instead of the words written out on the list, he has the
elements that correspond to the letters of what he needs to
buy. Help Mr. Moore out by decoding the things he needs to
buy.
Example:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Given: Oxygen Fluorine Oxygen Dubnium (-b, rearrange)
Answer: OFODb (-b) = food
Vanadium Germanium Tellurium Barium Einsteinium (+L, rearrange)
Americium Tellurium (rearrange)
Sulfur Tungsten Iodine Neon
Sulfur Tungsten Tellurium Einsteinium (rearrange)
Calcuim Nitrogen Dysprosium
Mr. Moore is writing a letter to a chemist he knows and he wants to encode it so no one
can read it but the chemist. Help Mr. Moore take the following words and replace the
letters with the names of the elements.
