PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!
By "biggest" I mean the highest score. The score is calculated using the atomic number of the chemical symbol. For example, since H's atomic number is 1, using the letter H gives you one point. The highest score I have so far is 812, so please try to submit a higher score. I want to get the highest possible, thanks!

I'm intrigued! I should be wrapping gifts for Christmas and instead I'm going to try and figure out your chemical symbols "word"... give me some time since I think I need to write a program. I'll be back though...
Okay, the best answers I could achieve were:
MoUNTaINoUSnEsSEs --> 725
UNpReTeNTiOUSnEsSEs --> 705
UNCeReMoNIOUSnEsSEs --> 698
PoSThUMoUSnEsSEs --> 680
PErSPICAcIOUSnEsSEs --> 679
PHoSPHoMoNoEsTeRaSEs --> 678
FrUITlEsSnEsSEs --> 676
INaUSPICIOUSnEsSEs --> 663
OVErAmBiTiOUSnEsSEs --> 663
INdIGeNoUSnEsSEs --> 656
I have a big list, but unless I've misunderstood your scoring, that's the best I can do... I'm assuming you can't double count, so you can't have "No" and count that as 3 elements (N, O, No), but only one element (No)...
Here's the scoring for "mountainesses":
Mo 42 Molybdenum
U 92 Uranium
N 7 Nitrogen
Ta 73 Tantalum
I 53 Iodine
No 102 Nobelium
U 92 Uranium
Sn 50 Tin
Es 99 Einsteinium
S 16 Sulfur
Es 99 Einsteinium
BTW, what is your 812 point word?

Wow, what was the 812-point word?
Edit: Zare, he said the atomic number, not the atomic weight.

This is a waste of time, this should be in games (for kids).

F - 19 (2)
La - 138.91 (1)
O - 16 (2)
C - 12 (4)
i - 126.9 (6)
N - 14 (3)
Au - 196.97 (1)
H - 1 (1)
Li - 6.94 (1)
At - 209.00 (1)
= 1,474.21
