Recognizing the intersection of scientific properties and ideas with the world around you is a key component of this course. By choosing a specific element to discuss, you will begin to understand how all substances are composed of elements that work together to form the world around us. Using the periodic table in Chapter 8 of your textbook, pick your favorite element. Describe this element's properties (i.e. atomic weight, atomic number, metal/non-metal, etc.). In addition to using your textbook, use reliable internet sources to research an interesting fact about this element. Use all of this information to explain why this is your favorite element. Cite your source(s) in APA format.

As you know, one way to classify matter is by its material. Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are three types of materials that can be found on the Periodic Table. Using the Periodic Table in the reference guide, locate a metal, nonmetal, and metalloid. Describe what properties you would expect for each of these elements.

Protons, neutrons, and electrons... Oh My! Chemistry seems to trouble the non-science major. Bottom line, it is all about relationships! In this post, you apply critical thinking skills to demonstrate what you've learned about concepts in chemistry, by applying a concept to a real-life situation. This exercise will build your critical thinking skills as well as your creativity. Choose a major concept in chemistry from the notes, define it, and then give an example of how it is applied in real life.
Timmy: Titanium has an atomic number of 22, which means it has 22 protons. The average mass is closest to 48 which means the number of protons and neutrons should add to 48. If there are 22 protons, then there are 26 neutrons. The charge is 2+ which means there are two more electrons than protons, so there are 24 electrons. Answer: protons=22, neutrons=26, electrons=24 ONE of Timmy's answers is incorrect. Explain the mistake that Timmy made AND what the correct answer should be.
MEASUREMENT AND MATTER Organization of the Periodic Table Read each description in the first column of the table below. If any chemical element with atomic number of 92 or less matches the description, check Yes and enter the chemical symbol of an element that matches. Otherwise check No in the second column. description An element in Period 1 and Group 8A. A metalloid in Group 4A. An alkali metal with a lower atomic number than nitrogen. A main-group element in Period 6. Does any element with Z≤ 92 match the description? Yes Yes Yes Yes No No O No No If you checked yes, give the symbol of an element with Z ≤ 92 that matches.
