Do You Know Who's Who on the Periodic Table?

1. Giving away different numbers of my electrons allows me to change my appearance like an undercover agent. (Manganese)
2. I am the powerhouse behind most chemical reactions on Earth. Without me, you die. (Oxygen)
3. At room temperature I often change instantly into a purplish gas. That's called sublimation. (Iodine)
4. I'm a complete live wire — high-strung and volatile — but I get along well with everyone and make strong, long-lasting friendships. (Sodium)
5. Mysterious and attractive, I am the gremlin of the underworld. (Cobalt)
