For each of the clues below, find the chemistry/science word that matches it as a pun. For example, ONE of the two possible for #1 is "Helium" (get it?). Some answers may be used more than once, and some questions may have more than one answer. My favorites are boldfaced. A partial list of answers is at the end. WARNING: some of these are extremely silly. J I thought of about 2/3 of these myself (that may be good news or bad news). If you know where the others came from, please let me know. Thank You!
