Magnesium Parent: Kyle Preston

The Birth First Born by Sir Humphry Davy Born in 1808

Physical Description Magnesium is a metal, it is actually an alkali-earth metal! Little Mag, has 12 protons, 12 neutrons, and 12 electrons Mg:

Properties Melting point: 650 degrees Celsius Boiling point: 1090 degrees Celsius Specific heat: 1.05 kJ Density: at 239K – 1.738g/cm^3

Chemical Properties 2 valence electrons Oxidation number – 2 Reactivity – highly reactive Magnesium nitrate, Magnesium methoxide and Magnesium fluoride, are compounds of magnesium

Positives and negatives Magnesium, when burned, produces a bright light, so if you are trapped in a dark cave, and have magnesium to burn, you will have light, however, it burns really fast, so the light will not last long. Low amounts of magnesium in blood can cause health issues.

Radium Parent: Kyle Preston

The Birth Pierre and Marie Curie discovered Radium Discovered December 26th 1948

Physical Description Radium is an Alkali – Earth Metal Radium has 88 protons, and 138 neutrons, and 88 electrons Ra:

Beryllium Parent The French Chemist Louis-Nicholas Vauquelin Birth place Beryllium was discovered in 1797 found in emeralds located in the mountains of California and in France Gender Beryllium is a metal found under the category of Alkaline Earth Metals.

Beryllium Be Be Physical Properties Number of Protons: 4 Number of Electrons: 4 Density : 1.848 g/cm Melting Point 1287 °C Boiling Point 2470 °C Specific Heat Capacity 1.82 J Thermal Conductivity 2.00 W/cm K Be Be

Beryllium Chemical Description The Valence number is 2 Ion is positive 2 Maximum oxidation number is 2 Minimum oxidation number is 0 There is no reaction between Beryllium and water or steam (including when at a red hot).

Beryllium Beryllium has positive attributes such as being used in nuclear reactor to absorb neutrons. It is being used in radiation windows for x-ray tubes. The element also is under research to find out if it could be used as a new mental to construct aircrafts because of it being so light-weight. The negative attributes include the fact that beryllium and its salts are poisonous and carcinogenic.

Calcium Parent The first discoverer of this element were the Romans Birth Place and Date Sir Humphry Davy was the first to declare Calcium as a metal in 1808 A.D. Gender Calcium is a metal under the group of Alkaline Earth Metals.

Calcium Ca Ca Number of Protons: 20 Number of Electrons: 20 Density: 1.55 g/cm3 Melting Point: 842 °C Boiling Point: 1484 °C Specific Heat Capacity is 0.650 J/g°C Thermal Conductivity 2.00 W/cm K Ca Ca

Calcium Chemical Description The Valence Number is 2 Ion is positive 2 Oxidation States is 2 Calcium can react with water to make calcium Hydroxide.

Calcium Calcium has positive attributes such as getting rid of sulfur, carbon, and oxygen from alloys. It is also an important aspect to the water we drink. Without this element there would not be the removal of arsenic and animal waste in drinking water. A negative attribute to calcium would be if someone has taken in a lot of calcium more than needed, remaining calcium can be created into kidney stones.
