Element Research Project

During class you will be given a slip of paper with an atomic number on it. It will be your job to determine which element it is and find some useful information on it.

Using the atom links listed on my web page, research the following information, which you will present to the class:

What your looking for	Check off after you find it
symbol
atomic number
atomic mass
who discovered the element
what year it was discovered
Basic Properties(Density, boiling point, melting point)
state of matter at room temperature
where the element can be found
is it radioactive or not
two uses for the element
At least 2 interesting characteristics not already listed above

In addition to the presentation, you should design a square for a giant periodic table. The square should include the element’s symbol, its atomic number and its atomic mass. You can add anything else you wish to the square.
