indium, neodymium, sodium, uranium
Which element is added to each group and why?
Answer
Add the elements so that the chemical symbols of the elements in each group spell the names of countries.1: argon (Ar) + germanium (Ge) + nitrogen (N) + titanium (Ti) + sodium (Na) = Argentina
2: barium (Ba) + hydrogen (H) + radium (Ra) + indium (In) = Bahrain
3: iodine (I) + rhenium (Re) + lanthanum (La) + neodymium (Nd) = Ireland
4: phosphorus (P) + erbium (Er) + uranium (U) = Peru
