Element Project

Element Brochure Research any element you choose and make an informational brochure to tell about your element. Creativity may be needed. Technology assignment (Publisher brochure) Minimum of three references (one textbook and one internet site) Title, author, year published and URL Not ALL writing or not ALL bullets in brochure Use graphics and pictures to add visual appeal captions with pictures Name of element, picture/graphic, your name, class hour Front: Name of element, picture/graphic, your name, class hour References, graphic Back: References, graphic Inside flap: facts – melting point, atomic number, Bohr model, etc… (three sections…interesting facts, history, uses) Opened brochure (three sections…interesting facts, history, uses) Brochure should look neat. Writing should be 12 point font. Use only 1 or 2 fonts in entire brochure. Element Project Example Brochure (Publisher)

Autobiography of an Element I am Promethium, Pm for short. I was named after Prometheus, who according to Greek mythology, brought fire to man. I'm a member of the Lanthanide (rare earth) elements. My family name is derived from the Greek lanthum, meaning “to escape notice”. You may not have noticed me around before, as I have no naturally occurring isotopes. True to family tradition, I managed to avoid positive identification until O. Ermetsa first isolated 350 mg 147 Pm from 6000 tons apatite. Once discovered, I was immediately put to work. Large quantities of 147 Pm salts (luminesce pale blue or green) are used in luminescent paint for watch dials. Another job I've held is as a part in a beta-voltaic battery. You may think there is not enough of me to go around. However, everyday, my cousin 147 Sm transforms into Promethium by radioactive decay (at a rate of 0.07%/day). Also, I'm a rare earth fission product of uranium. Please get to know me. I'll be around for awhile with 147 Pm half-life of 2.5 years and 145 Pm half-life of 30 years.

Attraction and Repulsion of Electrical Charges Particles with unlike charges attract one another. Particles with like charges repel one another. Ralph A. Burns, Fundamentals of Chemistry 1999, page 96

Exception! Two exceptions to the simple –ide ending are the diatomic oxide ions, O 2 2- and O O 2 2- is called peroxide O 2 1- is called superoxide.
