Geocache Description:


Over a hundred elements, so different it’s hard to believe

We group them in a table, thanks to Mendeleev.

It’s periodic so you can tell, the number of electrons in the valence shell.

Atomic bonds are cool, and lighter ones follow the octet rule.

Pull out your table, put on your glasses, the happiest elements are nobel gases. (fart noises) 

(4th Grade Chemistry Song) 

This puzzle shouldn't tie your brain in knots. Use that most splendid of tables to promplty solve this puzzle.  Happy caching from LCS.
