You do not need to turn in this assignment! You need to do research today, tomorrow you will work on a project and use the research to complete the project!!!
Watch this lesson on the periodic table.
Choose an element on the periodic table that interests you. Do not pick Iodine. You can use the table in your book, or you can use this interactive periodic table ! When you click on an element in this table, you will get some information on the element! (Yes, sometimes the table will take you to Wikipedia...that's ok!)
For your given element, record the following information:
What is the element name and symbol?
If the element goes by other names, what are they?
When was the element discovered? Who discovered it?
What is the element family? (Non-metal, alkali metals, metal, metalloid, noble gasses, alkali earth metals)?
What is the element group number and period number?
Give 2 physical properties of this element. (What is its melting or freezing point? What color is it? Is it shiny or dull?
Give 1 chemical property of this element. (Is it reactive or non-reactive? Is it flammable? Is it toxic to humans?)
DESCRIBE at least 2 real-world uses of this element.
Do not turn this in, keep it handy for tomorrow!
