HA Element Investigation Directions: Research an element and prepare a piece of the periodic table. The objective of this project is to gain an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of elements. Your project MUST include: Element's symbol Atomic number Atomic mass Identify if the element is a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal Identify if the element is a solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature Density Appearance Identify (2) additional physical properties of the element Identify (2) chemical properties of the element Interesting facts about the element and its uses picture of your element After you have researched your element and obtained the above information, create a piece of the periodic table using a Google doc or slide. Make sure to include all the information you obtained from your research.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
