Clue 7 moves you from your current location to the "tiny evil gnome or goblin" element on the periodic table. Subtract 6 protons to land on ______ (Cobalt,titanium, palladium) . Again, don't stay long! The goblins chase you off to a much "lazier" element. Clue 8 takes you to far right side of the periodic table and_____ *(Argon,oxygen,heluim) the element whose name means "lazy one" that has 18 electrons. After a much needed rest you venture to the 'f-block' to visit the rare earth elements. ________ (Promethium, neodymium,ceriurn) glows in the dark to light your way! It has the atomic number of 61.

Answer 1

Let's break down the clues:

1. The "tiny evil gnome or goblin" element on the periodic table refers to Gallium (Ga), which has 31 protons. Subtracting 6 protons from Gallium gives you 25 protons, which corresponds to Manganese (Mn).

2. The "lazier" element that has 18 electrons and is found on the far right side of the periodic table is Argon (Ar).

3. Finally, the f-block element that glows in the dark with an atomic number of 61 is Promethium (Pm).

Putting that all together:

1. Manganese (25)
2. Argon (18)
3. Promethium (61)

So the answers are:

1. Manganese
2. Argon
3. Promethium
