You can try your hand at this quiz that tests your knowledge of all the symbols and elements. It is not easy but you can customise it by clicking on ‘More options please’ and telling it which elements you want included. You should know the first 20 but try to include a few others like bismuth, gold, iron, zinc and others that I have written about on this blog.
