Start with the full category, then apply the exact boundary: IUPAC group 2, atomic numbers 1–30. An element name or chemical symbol is accepted. You only need one qualifying answer. A longer name is not automatically rarer.

Rule examples & common mix-ups — may reveal answers
  • Both the element’s group and the atomic-number limit must fit. A chemical symbol is an accepted spelling, not a way to bypass either restriction.
