ELEMENT PAMPHLET (project) - SchoolNotes



CHEMISTRY I ELEMENT PROJECT

Introduction: Atoms are tiny units that determine the properties of all matter. The elements on the periodic table represent the different atoms that can combine to make up the everyday products you use to make your life easier. You are given an element on the periodic table. You need to research to find specific information.

The element selected for you to research is:__________________________

Project Due Date: A-day October 20 and B-day October 21

PART 1: Complete research to find the information on the element that is listed below. It can be typed or handwritten or you can request a form to be filled out. 35 points

• Name Origin (where the named came from)

• Discoverer (who discovered it)

• Year discovered

• Location of the element on the periodic table

o Period number

o Column number

• Name of the Family

• Location in Nature (ex… the atmosphere, earth’s crust etc….)

• One unusual or interesting fact:

• Uses in society and science

• Atomic (Bohr’s) Model

o protons, electrons and neutrons should be clearly identified with amounts and legend code – see example

• Symbol of the element

• Atomic number

• Mass number

• Physical properties (include the proper units of measurements when necessary)

o Color

o Natural physical state of matter (solid, liquid or gas)

o Melting point

o Luster (shiny or dull)

o Classification (metal, nonmetal or metalloid)

• Chemical properties:

Select 4 from the list of chemical properties and find out the specific information about your element.

Reaction to water? Reaction to acids? Reaction to air? (will it rust ?) Electronegativity Combustible? (yes or no) Is it Radioactive?

Flammable? (yes or no) Combing Capacity? (can it combine with other elements??

• Compounds (examples of chemical formulas, is any, with the element’s symbol)

Part 2: Design a Booklet: INCLUDE ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE IN YOUR BOOKLET. Design a cover which includes the uses. 15 points
