Guest meghamann Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I know that is what I am confused about. I guess if I choose one and another person chooses the same, neither of us get a point. So I chose: Praseodymium neodymium promethium samarium europium gadolinium terbium dysprosium holmium erbium Hoping no one else will choose these. There are 6 people in the group so 60 have to be chosen and there are waht like 90 some or almost 100 so I don't know. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 List 10 UNIQUE types of metal. Example: Iron Hint: Do not underestimate the easy ones. hi meghamann, I am curious where this problem came from and what it means for a type of metal to be UNIQUE. what is a unique type of metal? why is Iron an example of a unique type of metal? I am clearly missing something. maybe some more explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 yeah it is pretty vague and does it include alloys cause then it would run into the thousands and millions of possible "unique" metals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 must not forget Mercury and Platinum, also lead hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdurg Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I would assume that it would mean metals which don't share similar chemical properties. (Like sodium and potassium do). So I'll give a go with the following: Sodium Mercury Platinum Bismuth Indium Gallium Beryllium Copper Neodymium Tantalum I would consider those 10 UNIQUE metals as they have different chemical and/or physical properties from each other.

YT2095 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 how about a selection of Transition elements (including Iron) as many of them make pretty colors when salts, each one being different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
