2 may also be helium. If it's a currently used blimp, it will be. If that's the Hindenburg it will be hydrogen.

5 is probably iron. Maybe aluminum?

yes, unfortunately I can't count, 5 is certainly not carbon (but 6 is).

Thinking about it, 2 is probably Helium. Blimps just remind me of Hydrogen...

5 could be various things. That piece of jewellery is known as a "ball closure ring", and judging from the colour it's probably a steel or Titanium one.
