Identify the Element
Your task is to identify elements from a limited amount of data.

Press NEW GAME to start playing.

Data on a randomly selected element is displayed to the left of the screen. The element is chosen from those selected (coloured rather than grey) in the Periodic Table to the right, which is controlled by the level at which you are playing.

When you have identified the element, click its symbol in the Periodic Table, and press NEXT ELEMENT to move to the next identification. The game finishes after ten identifications.

Clues
Clicking first letter of name, group or period in the Clues box will reveal the corresponding information, but also reduce the number of points awarded for a correct identification.

Level
Click easy, difficult, very difficult or fiendish in the Level box change the difficulty of the game. Both the set of elements from which the unknown elements are taken and the information presented depend on the chosen level. For an extra challenge check the Play blind box to hide the element symbols in the Periodic Table and rely on your knowledge to locate your chosen element.
