Sadly not. Chemistry isn’t my strong suit so I know some of the common ones, but a lot of the others I’d need to look up.

I can get as far as helium, which I think we might agree is not very impressive.

Fiona McLean answered on 14 Jun 2014:
Unfortunately no. But I do know enough of it to get a pointless answer on Pointless! I actually only decided that I wanted to be a scientist in my final year of high school so did crash Higher Chemistry then. That meant I missed out all the periodic table stuff at school. However if YOU want to learn all of the periodic table you should YouTube ‘The Element Song’!

Nope – but I do know what is important about the periodic table. The main things are that the periodic table exists (meaning that there is some order to the elements, which are the stuff that molecules are built out of, which is what we are built out of, etc.); that there is a “left” and “right” and “middle” section of the table, which is where you find “electron donors”, “electron acceptors”, and “hybrid stuff that’s versatile and important since they can do both!”; that there are “top” and “bottom” and “middle” rows in the table, which come about because the atoms are filled shell by shell in a remarkably simple way…

Nope. Frankly, in my work I don’t need to.
Plus, if I ever did need to know what was on it, then I’d be able to find a copy on the Internet pretty quickly.
