ELEMENT FACEBOOK PAGE (Project - 50 pts)

One of the elements has asked you to make a Facebook page for him/her! Using the computers and books for research, please design a Facebook page and draw it on a normal sized sheet of paper! Info you'll need to include includes... This project is due Friday, November 18

1)  Name of the element

2)  Symbol

3)  Name and nationality of the scientist who discovered the element

4)  Age (Count from the year it was discovered)

5)  Origin and meaning of the element's name. If the element has a symbol that does not match its name (Gold - Au) you should also include the word and language of origin of the element's original name.

6)  Atomic Number (which of course also means number of protons).

7)  Atomic Mass

8)  Number of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons

9)  Electron Configuration (Number of energy levels and number of electrons in each level)

10)  Address (Most elements live at the corner of a period and group)

11)  Friend List (This would be the elements in the same group...)

12)  Relationship status (is it in a compound with another element somewhere?)

13)  A picture for the page (should show all the protons, neutrons and electrons - make sure the electrons are in the right energy level!)

14)  Common properties of the element in elemental form - phase at room temperature, freezing and boiling points, color, odor, shape, etc.

15)  Common isotopes (which also indicates number of neutrons in the isotope.)

16)  If some isotopes are radioactive, half-life of the element and the isotope it decays into.

17)  Current Job: Uses for the element, if any (both in elemental form and in its most useful compounds)

18)  Crystalline shapes, if any
