You are a part of a collection of scientists who have been chosen to assist a group of alien scientists. In order to
be able to converse scientifically, you must learn their language, and most importantly, you must arrange their
elements according to the trends that exist in the periodic table. Below are clues for the alien's elements. So far,
the aliens have only discovered elements in groups 1, 2, and 13-18, and periods 1-5. Although the names of the
elements are different, they must correspond to our elements if our belief of universal elements holds true (e.g.
6 C
a neutral atom with 6 protons anywhere in the universe will be the same atom as what we know as carbon).
Read each clue carefully, and then place the alien symbol, atomic number, and most likely isotope
symbol for that clue's element in the blank periodic table provided (see the box at the right for an

example using our own symbols – you will use the alien symbols.
1. Livium (Lv): This element is responsible for life. The aliens call living things the equivalent of
“livium-based organisms.” It has 2 electron energy levels and 4 electrons available for bonding in the
our carbon
outermost energy level.
2. Computerchipium (Cc): This element is important for its use as a semiconductor in computers (it has 4
our silicon
valence electrons, and 3 energy levels)
3. Lightium (L): This is the lightest of elements, it’s the only element on the table that usually has no neutrons.
our hydrogen
4. Breathium(Br): When combined with Lightium (L), it makes the alien's most common liquid whose formula
Br, this liquid is what makes up most of the alien’s body.

8. Violetium(V): This element is found as part of a compound in bananas. It is member of the alkali metal
our potassium
family, and is the second most reactive metal on the alien’s periodic table.
9. Sparkium (Sp) and Burnium (Bu) are members of the alkali metal group, along with Violetium(V) and
Explodium (Ex). Their reactivity, from least to greatest, is Sp Bu V Ex.
our Lithium, Sodium,
Potassium, and Rubidium
our helium
10. Balloonium (Ba): A noble gas used to fill balloons to help them float.
11. Toothium (To): This element in group 2 is found in milk, and is added to juices to help build strong bones
our calcium
and teeth.
12. Metalloidium (M) and Poisonium (Po): Two metalloids found in period 4. Po is the more massive than M.
our germanium and arsenic
our bromine
13. Lowigium (Lo): A period 4 halogen.
our indium
14. Darkbluium(Dk): Has a mass number of 115 for the most common isotope.
our xenon (because their

our beryllium
16. Glucinium (Gl): The element found in period 2, group 2.
our fluorine
17. Reactinium (Re): The most reactive nonmetal on the periodic table.
18. Balloonium (Ba), Signium(Si), Stableium(Sb), Supermanium (Sm), and Hugium (Hu) are all noble gases.
our helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon
They are arranged above from least to most massive.
19. Cannium (Cn): This element is often used as a container in which to preserve foods, this element has 5

energy levels occupied in its ground state.
20. Burnium (Bu), Blue-whitium (Bw), Bauxitium (Xi), Computerchipsium (Cc), Bringer-of-lightium (Bl),
Stinkium (Sk), Purium (P), and Stableium (Sb) are all found in period 3. Bu has 1 electron in its outer energy
