Only 20% of Americans know that nitrogen is the most common gas in the atmosphere? Half think that electrons are bigger than atoms? It would be interesting to see a country comparison of these.

That's grade school stuff. I honestly don't know why some would not know that. Maybe it's not taught in American grade schools?

More likely they've just forgotten. That would explain why the oldest demographic consistently performs worst on the questions.
