The goal of this paragraph is to point out that each element is different than other elements. Check the RUBRIC!!

3. Example – do not copy word for word!!!!!!!
An element is matter made of only one type of atoms. Elements are different based on the number of protons, which is also the atomic number. Element X is the only element with Y protons. The protons are found in the nucleus. The other part in the nucleus are the __________. In a stable atom the number of ________ equals the number of __________. The electrons are found in the _____________. The symbol for __________ is ___________. __________ is classified as a ___________ and is part of the ______________ family/period.

Discuss how it was found, or how long it has been used for, etc.

Metalloids can give, take or share electrons.
Discuss how the period number gives you the number of electron energy levels for your element.

7. Paragraph 4
Transition the information you talked about in paragraph 3 to some real examples for your element.
