Periodic Table Crosswords

Most of the clues are based on various trivial bits of information on the elements, along with some numbers and facts about the table. A kid may be able to solve them without the table if they’ve memorized a lot of the details (like mine does), but many questions aren’t directly found on the periodic table itself and might require some further research.
