Science notes for this game
Use 25 °C (77 °F) and normal air pressure. The two rows under the table belong to periods 6 and 7. Their group numbers are left blank in this layout. The six metalloids used here are B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Te.
For elements 100–118, this game leaves state, density, and magnetism unknown instead of using predicted properties. Reference tables may list predicted states. Keep elements with unknown data standing when eliminating by a physical property. An unknown reply lets you ask another question.
“No stable isotopes” includes bismuth, which decays extremely slowly. Density clues compare data; they are not instructions to place elements in water.
