Element Information 1. Classification (metal, nonmetal, or metalloid) 2. Phase at room temperature 3. Period Number 4. Group Number (if it is available*) *If it does not have a group number, write if it is a lanthanide or actinide. 5. State if the element is or is not radioactive. 6.

If your element is not commonly used, a picture of its namesake, scientist that discovered it, location of its discovery, historical information, etc. will be sufficient.

Atomic Representations Bohr Model Electron Shell Configuration Draw or insert a Bohr model representation of the element’s atom. Draw or insert a representation of the element’s electron shell configuration.

Requirements You must write in complete sentences. Each slide should have a transition effect or animation. Slides must have background images or colors. The text must be easy to read.
