They then look at the computer screen. It seems to require three passwords:
Screen:
- Electrons to distribute: 999
Input total number of electrons in...
- Atom #1: ___
- Atom #2: ___
- Atom #3: ___

You'll have an advantage then I suppose.
It's been a long time since I dealt with protons and electrons.

They aren't quite sure what to do here yet, so they exit the room. They go to the ADAM, and examine that. It has a screen on it, which also requires a code. However, this one requires a letter input.
Screen:
_ _ _ _ _ _
- 157 neutrons.
- 42 electrons.
- 36 more neutrons than electrons.
((Sorry that this is all so messy. I didn't ever make images for these screens, since you hadn't gotten so far yet.))
After looking back at the archives they had found, they come up with an answer for the password.
SOLVE THIS PUZZLE!!

Ok, so we need the element symbols for those conditions right? let's test this test! (portal quote  ) |

Yeah, and we'll probably need three elements then.

Yes, I think so.

From what I can remember, we can determine the amount of shells each element's atom has by going down the columns. As in H has 1, Li has 2, Na has 3, ect.

I have an idea on what the first one is, I'll need to double check my work though.

If you get stuck, check the archives again. This is kinda like the Lab puzzle in VLR. They practically tell you step-by-step what to do.

Well I'm trying to figure out the first one, but if you seem to know it that would be great.

I'm not positive yet, currently drawing a diagram to be sure |

Post by Blake Donovan on Jul 22, 2013 17:05:45 GMT -5
I believe the second is Mo, unless I'm completely wrong. XD

 Just so you know Fox, all you have to do is a simple subtraction problem... I don't quite understand where diagram would need to play into this. |
|

|
Post by Fox Wilder on Jul 22, 2013 17:10:05 GMT -5
It was just to double check my work. I also thought the second one was Mo, so either were both right or both wrong. |

Woah, bringing in the reaction gifs?! Come on, now.
For the third, I'm assuming we need to find the number of electrons, which would be easier if we had the number of protons. Since atomic mass= protons+neutrons, protons= atomic mass-neutrons. Though...what the atomic mass is...beats me.

Is it Md?
May be wrong here, I'm probably solving this in the wrong, long route way but I've found more than one element with 157 neutrons.

Post by Zero on Jul 22, 2013 17:17:45 GMT -5
Sorry, but Md doesn't even have 157 neutrons. Can you explain to me what exactly you're trying to do?
As for what Atomic Mass is, it's written right in the instructions, and the key in the periodic table shows you where to find it on each square.

Hmm
May need to re work my theory.
I was trying to count outwards by 4 per shell like in your diagram but I suppose I miscalculated.

Err... sorry, but did you read it very closely? That "valence" thing talks about electrons. It has nothing to do with neutrons. >__>
It clearly says "Atomic Mass is the combined number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus."
So if you want to find the number of neutrons, just look at the Atomic Mass, and subtract the number of protons from it.

Post by Zero on Jul 22, 2013 17:30:11 GMT -5
Very close. Your math is correct, but you'll find that it doesn't make a word/phrase with the other letters, once you figure out what the third one is. Well then, would you two like to try the third one? |

Post by Fox Wilder on Jul 22, 2013 17:30:50 GMT -5
Ok, well on the right track at least.  |

|
Post by Fox Wilder on Jul 22, 2013 17:31:31 GMT -5
So were we right about the second one being Mo?

Post by Zero on Jul 22, 2013 17:32:47 GMT -5
Yep, you were.

How about No?

Post by Fox Wilder on Jul 22, 2013 17:34:06 GMT -5
Hmm well NoMo isn't a nice word then.
Back to the element table.

Err... shouldn't you try the third one like I just said? You just made a grave mistake. >.>

|

Post by Blake Donovan on Jul 22, 2013 17:36:44 GMT -5
Yeah, I thought it would make a phrase with the other ones. I guess I should get back to work on the third one. I'm ashamed that I can't figure this out. XD
