Closed Elementary, my dear Watson

[Claire Yeon]

I am thinking of an element. It is named on the periodic table. Since this is limited to a very specific range of answers, I am reducing the number of questions to 9.

Rules (per @Chase):

• You have 9 questions (in total, not each).
• They must all be yes/no questions.
• First correct answer closes the game.
• If the game hits 9 questions with no correct answer, the game closes.

Guess away, gumshoes.

I think you can guess my next question, is it part of 5d?

Here's another obvious question...does it have an atomic number greater than 75?
