"General Knowledge Quiz"

What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.

The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.

Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

I was thinking Carbon had to be in there. And I remember Hydrogen and Sulphur were there too.

So that's my answer. But I wiki'd it after being unable to decide between the three so I'm not saying my final answer. ;)

Praseodymium is the other longest named chemical element:-)

Spent days and days, in the past, researching science trivia have finally come to fruition - I was always told study would help in later life, they forgot to add that you had to remember the information aswell:-D

I'll switch your question around ;D

Protactinium is one of the longest chemical element names. What is the name of the other one?

And surely you are correct young sir.....your shout now and steer clear of ice hockey :-D

Surely has to be Tin. Can't think of any with just 2, don't think there are any others with 3 either.

OK Chris, but neither can I.....so here's one off the top of my head:

Which chemical element has the shortest name?

Surprised to say, it's none of them. Will move this along seeing as nobody is really interested in hockey ;D

The AHL team is Scranton Penguins.

You can have the next question Drag, i can't think of any at the moment.

Well it could be the Eskimoes because they play in an arena that resembles an igloo:-)

Or the 'Mellons' because they play at the Mellon Arena:-)

Or, it just could be 'The Hornets' :-)
