Mrs. Behrens Chemistry

Element Poster (Giant Periodic Table)

Warning: you will possibly be working on this from home. Use a program that you have at home!

In this assignment you will first research an element, and create a small informational poster about that element, combining text and images. It will be combined with other classes to make a GIGANTIC PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS. Your poster should have THIS format:

COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ELEMENT

DATA

Make sure the class will be able to CLEARLY SEE THIS DATA! This element is a S / L / G ?

My element is a metal/non-metal / metalloid (circle one). Atomic radius(radii):______pm

Melting point temperature: ______oC. Electronegativity:______(Pauling scale)

Boiling point temperature: ______oC. Electron affinity:______kJ/mol or kJ*mol-1

↕same units

The atomic number _____. Atomic mass (AMU) ______. 1stIonization Energy:______kJ/mol

APPEARANCE

If you had a pure sample of the element, describe its appearance in three ways:

1.

2.

3.

HISTORY

Find two facts about the history of the element. (Examples: who discovered it, how was it discovered, where it was discovered)

1.

2.

Periodic Table Group:

(METALS): lanthanide, actinide, alkalai, alkaline earth, transition, OR (NON METALS):halogen, noble gas, metalloid, other non metals

Circle one!
USES

Find and describe three things that the element is used for. These might be specific objects (e.g. x-ray tubes), as well as more general things (e.g. computer technology.) Some elements will not have much (like the lanthanides and actinides). Ask Mrs. B if you have any questions!

Uses / What qualities of the element make it useful for what it is used for?

COST

APPROXIMATE $ PER GRAM ______Its okay if you can’t find this.

INFORMATION

DANGEROUS INFORMATION ABOUT THE ELEMENT, OR PERHAPS ITS USEFULL CHARACTERISTICS

IMAGES

Use the Internet (search for some good pictures!) find two images. Print the page preferably

using a color printer and copy / paste the images out. Describe each image and give website so if you have to go back to it later from home:

1.

2.

WHERE IS IT FOUND

It must be typed on one standard size 8.5 x 11 paper ONLY! Usea program you have at home like M.S. word (I can help you with that program) or M.S. publisher. Organize it under the headings: DATA, APPEARANCE, HISTORY, WHERE ITSFOUND, DANGEROUS INFORMATION, and USES, etc... BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t forget to Include 2 images, and colored text to improve the appearance. It must be computer type and printed to me, DO NOT EMAIL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
