These are just the first 103 elements. Rutherfordium and the other transactinide metals have no uses (they wouldn't last long enough to put to good use anyway

Answer 2

• Carbon: used in making organic molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates.
• Gold: used in jewelry, electronics, and as a form of currency.
• Oxygen: essential for respiration in humans and other animals.
• Silicon: used in making computer chips and solar panels.

Answer 3

Characteristics: metal, one of the most common metals, silver/gray in color

Uses: making of steel

Answer 4

Water can be used to put out Fire (both are elements). Fire burns Leaf while Leaf is made stronger by Water.

Answer 5

Hydrogen and 2 of oxygen make water! Carbon and 2 of oxygen make carbon dioxide and Mercury mixed with sulphide will give you Mercury-sulphide
