2. Boron + Oxygen + Xenon + R
3. D + Aluminum + M + Astatine + Iodine + Oxygen + Nitrogen
4. Beryllium + Silver + L + E
5. Lanthanum + Boron + Radium + D + Oxygen + R
6. M + Arsenic + Titanium + Fluorine + Fluorine
Hint
Look at the atomic symbols for each element.Answer
Cobalt=CoCarbon=C
Potassium=K
Erbium=Er
Sulfur=S
Protactinium=Pa
Nickel=Ni
Boron=B
Oxygen=O
Xenon=Xe
Aluminum=Al
Astatine=At
Iodine=I
Nitrogen=N
Beryllium=Be
Silver=Ag
Lanthanum=La
Radium=Ra
Arsenic=As
Titanium=Ti
Fluorine=F
1. Co+C+K+Er+S+Pa+Ni+E+L=Cocker Spaniel
2. B+O+Xe+R=Boxer
3. D+Al+M+At+I+O+N=Dalmation
4. Be+Ag+L+E=Beagle
5. La+B+Ra+D+O+R=Labrador
6. M+As+Ti+F+F=Mastiff
They are all breeds of dogs!

Easy... get a periodic table and the rest is simple
Absolutely easy...don't even need a periodic table. But very fun.
Shame about the misspelled Alsatian - not Alsation!
or even Dalmatian!
Nice job!
Fun and easy. Great teaser.
Big grin---and thanx for the listing! Right you are, Boodler, Dalma-t-i-a-n it is. So switch the Oxygen to Ammonium, or is it Argon? (Still don't have my table.) Very cool teaser, tho, thompson!
Ammonium is NH4
Argon is Ar
There is no "A" element at the time of this posting.
But Sulfur or Einsteinium make great duplicating elements, since they can make things plural.
