Puzzle 1070 Happy Holidays puzzle with atomic numbers

For sure you know that each one of the chemical elements is numerically characterized by an integer named "atomic number". This integer number is equal to the quantity of protons inside the nucleus of the chemical element.

BTW, the greater atomic number of all the currently known chemical elements is 118, corresponding to the Organesson. And ALL the chemical elements from atomic number from 1 to 118 has been discovered in our planet nowadays.

A very simplified Periodic Table of all the known chemical elements can be described by a set of 118 cards having three basic data: 1) the Name of the Chemical element, 2) Its Symbol or abbreviation and 3) Its Atomic number.

By example, in the figure above The first card correspond to the chemical element named "Hierro" (in Spanish), whose abbreviation is "Fe" and whose atomic number is 26.

Q1. Can you provide other examples of interesting names or phrases made with the cards corresponding to the chemical elements?

Example: "Pure Fun"-> Pluronium.Rhenium.Fluor. Uranium. Nitrogen -> 94.75.9.92.7

Q2. What is the largest prime number you can form concatenating all the possible atomic numbers just once?

Q3. Redo Q2 for an emirp

Q4. Redo Q2 for a palprime.

Note: Please send your solutions separating each atomic number by a dot.

Yesterday my family celebrated the Epiphany of Jesus, along with the fifth birthday of my daughter Carola, so:

No palprime.

Any concatenation has length 246, with:

digit 1 used 50 times;

digits 2 to 8 used 22 times;

digits 0 and 9 used 21 times;

so we can generate no palindrome at all.

In order to have a palprime we need:

odd length (otherwise divisibilty by 11);

exactly one digit with odd frequency;

digit sum not divisible by 3.

So we can't find palprimes unless n = 19,22,40,61,79,121,...

Or maybe we can search for a 245-digit palprime after dropping Fluorine (Z=9).

108.1.105.104.10.100.102.106.101.103.107 (246 digits).

Q4.
It is impossible to find all atomic numbers just once in a palprime.
This is because the set of all atomic numbers uses 246 digits :
digit 1 is used 51 times;
digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 are used 22 times;
Digit 6 is used 23 times;
digit 8 is used 21 times.
No palindrome has such a configuration : all digits should occur an even number of times.

If we do not need to use all atomic numbers, then my biggest palprime is
99.8.97.96.95.94.93.92.91.87.86.85.84.83.82.81.76.75.74.73.72.71.70.1.65.64.63.62.61.54.53.52.51.32.31.

58.68.78.19.29.39.49.59.69.79.89.9
Unused atomic numbers :
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 20, 22, 30, 33, 40, 44, 50, 55, 66, 77, 80, 88, 90, 98, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118
I'm almost sure there must be bigger solutions.
