That sounds interesting, but I'll have to get back to that when I'm at the computer. A periodic table next to this would be useful.

BTW, are they all elements or are there molecules among the answers too?

2. Silver
3. At? (Astatine)
4. ...
5. Copper
6. Yttrium? (Eat-trium) Or just Be? (Beryllium)
7. Zinc
8. Argon (Are gone)
9. Lead? (In the other pronunciation.)
10. Helium (Heal 'em)
11. Al (all) or Antimoney (no money), depending on her lawyer
12. Barium (bury 'em)
13. Silicon (silly con artist)
14. Nitrogen (knight Trojan)
15. Rhodium? (Road-ium)
16. ...
17. ...
