The solution to this puzzle is a single word described by a cryptic phrase found by deciphering this elementary coded message:

HHSewLiBieBnCNgOFiNeNaMnggMAAlSNiPGSCElATrKSCaaSctTitrVacCrtiMvneoFneCoNeis!

Note: the problem originally listed the code incorrectly as:

HHSewLiBieBnCinNgOFiNeNaMnggMAAlSNiPGSCElATrKSCaaSctTitrVacCrtiMvneoFneCoNis!

edited to add the elementary remark

I overlooked at first the words "elementary coded", so it is indeed chemical elements.
