Introduction:

Use your textbook, chapter 10 packet, or internet to find the following information.

The first part of this project is work 36 points, the second part (#10) is worth 20 points.

For part 1 (1-9), either list site, or print out graph, with the information (4 points each):

 

  1. Graphs of the first  ionization energy (what is the ionization energy for your element?) (the amount of energy required to excite the first electron to leave the electron).
  2. Graphs of atomic radii (and what is the size of your elemental atom?)           
  3. Graphs of the atomic affinity? (and what is the atomic affinity of your element?) 
  4. At least one other  periodic table that is not like the one in  your textbook?  (if you print it out, circle your element on the periodic table, otherwise list all of the elements that surround your element. )             List site here:
  5. A three dimensional periodic table? (where is your element on this periodic table.  If you print it out, circle your element.)                               List site here: 
  6.  A foldable periodic table?    List site here:
  7.   A periodic table of comic characters? (Also list the comic book character for your element) List site here: 
  8. An interactive periodic table? List site here:
  9. Which is your favorite site? 
  10. Project for 20 points:  Using the information above, and any other information you can find, sell me your element.   (brochure, presentation, poster board, one page description, other?)  

Suggested sites:

 

databases and search engines (or use your own)
