I think in all fairness, it would be adviseable to accept the alternative names (natrium beside sodium; kalium beside potassium, wolfram beside tungsten...) since they are widely used and the abbreviations arise from these.

Chemical engineering at Purdue made me remember these. Spelling was a nightmare to try and figure out, and by no means was it fast, I had about a minute and a half left, but I did do it.

This website sometimes has words that automatically correct your answer if your spelling is wrong. It doesn't happen all the time but I'm sure that if you type 'thalium' instead of 'thallium' it'll answer anyway which means it's not too accurate. I've heard about the 3 or 4 elements that start with 'Un-, Uno-' but can't seem to notice it on this quiz for a while yet this has been updated 3 years ago. So 'oganesson' remains as the 118th or last element. And I don't even know if Google is accurate for me, it's probably giving me false information about which is the last element or if they're the same.
+1
Level 15
Nov 29, 2023
the un- and uno- elements are either hypothetical or just outdated names for the elements 113-118
+1
Level 92
Jan 17, 2024
Really they were just used as placeholders in order to refer to elements that haven't been discovered yet, and show their location on the table. These names are literally just the Latinized number with a suffix added--118 was Un Un Oct ium. 119 at the start of period 8 is Un Un Enn ium, then 120 Un Bi Nil ium, 121 Un Bi Un ium, 122 Un Bi Bi um, 123 Un Bi Tri um, etc.
