What is the Latin name of tungsten?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a Stannum
- b Plumbum
- c Technetium
- d Wolfram
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d Wolfram
Wolfram is the Latin name of tungsten; its symbol is W, taken from the Latin name.
Why the other options are wrong
- a Stannum: Stannum is the Latin name of tin (symbol Sn), not of tungsten.
- b Plumbum: Plumbum is the Latin name of lead (symbol Pb), not of tungsten.
- c Technetium: Technetium is simply the name of an element, not a Latin name; the Latin name of tungsten is Wolfram.
