Task
You will be responsible for researching one element in The Periodic Table. You will need to use a variety of book and Internet resources to obtain information about your element. The information you collect will be synthesized into a website that is designed to inform others about your element. You will also create a 30 second commercial to showcase your element and your research. The required information to include is listed below:
A. General Information
B. Uses
Other information to include will depend on the specific use of your element. Does it have use in the Medical/Biological Field? Is it used commonly in the Chemical Industry? What impact does your element have on the Environment?
A. General Information
- What is the name and chemical symbol of your element?
- What is the atomic number of your element?
- What is the average atomic mass of your element?
- What chemical group or family is your element in?
- Where on the periodic table is your element located? (name the period, group, and block)
- How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does your element contain?
- What is its electron configuration?
- What is its atomic radius?
- What is its ionization energy?
- What is its electronegativity?
- What are some physical properties (color, texture, physical state)
- What are the boiling point and melting point of your element?
- How many valence electrons does you element have?
- What are some common ions formed by your element?
