Clue 1
NOBLE LONER
The mystery element, which sits in the far right column of the periodic table, is one of the "noble gases." You can't see it--it's a colorless, odorless gas. And liker all noble gases, it's chemically inert, or doesn't combine with any other elements except in extreme cases. But don't be fooled by this loner. It makes up about 7 percent of all the atoms in the universe.
