2. For this project, I will use the element Copper

3. Assignment #1 Atomic Symbol: Cu Atomic Number: 29 Atomic Mass: 63.546
Group: 11
Period: 4

4. Assignment #1 Physical State at Room Temperature: Solid
Density at Room Temperature: grams per cubic centimeter
Color: Copper-red to brown. Tarnishes green, sometimes also blue, brown, red, or black
Type of Metal: Transition metal
Isotopes: 63Cu 65Cu
Most common in nature: Copper metal does occur naturally, but by far the greatest source is in minerals. Copper is obtained from minerals by smelting, leaching and electrolysis.
Summarize your research in three to five points.

5. Assignment #2 -1 Cu(NO3)2 + NaCl → CuCl + Na(NO3)2 (aq) (aq) (aq) (aq)
A balanced chemical reaction with oxygen (metals) and name of product with physical states. Solubility reaction of nitrate with Cl, OH, S, PO4 and SO4 anions. -1
Cu(NO3)2 + NaCl → CuCl + Na(NO3)2
(aq) (aq) (aq) (aq)
Cu(NO3)2 + NaOH → CuOH + Na(NO3)2
(aq) (s) (s) (aq)
Cu(NO3)2 + NaS → CuS + Na(NO3)2
(aq) (s) (s) (aq)
Cu(NO3)2 + NaPO4 → CuPO4 + Na(NO3)2
Cu(NO3)2 + NaSO4 → CuSO4 + Na(NO3)2
(aq) (aq) (aq) (aq)

6. Assignment #3 Molar Mass: 100/63.546 Cu = 1.574 100/16 O2 = 6.25
Limiting reagent using 100 g of copper and 100 g of oxygen, with number of moles of each.
Molar Mass:
100/ Cu = 1.574
100/ O2 = 6.25
Limiting reagent: Cu

7. Assignment #4 Electronegativity: 1.54
Bond type with non-metals: ionic bonds
Common isotopes: 63Cu, 65Cu
Types of decay: 64Cu has a half-life of ± hours and decays by (± 0.14)% by positron emission

8. Extra Facts:
Although once made nearly entirely from copper, American pennies are now made from zinc that has been coated with copper.
Due to its versatility and durability, copper is referred to as "man's eternal metal.”
Because bacteria will not grow on it, copper has been used for centuries to line parts of ships so that barnacles and mussels do not stick to the boats.
Foods rich in copper include oysters, beef, nuts, cocoa, black pepper, lobster, sunflower seeds, green olives, avocados, and wheat.
