Choose an element from the periodic table to interview. Conduct research on your element. Use the following as a guide for the kind of information you need to learn about your element to successfully complete the assignment. Atomic number Atomic mass Symbol Number of protons: Number of neutrons: Number of electrons: Its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties based on that position Typical compounds formed by your element The history of your element's discovery Five uses for your element or its common compounds Where your element or its compounds can be found in the real world At least one photo or drawing of your element Arrange the information into a coherent interview that consists of an introduction followed by alternating questions (to the element) and answers (from the element). Conclude with a summary. You will use a magazine layout to present the interview. You may choose to complete the project with art supplies or on the computer. The sample provided is only a generic guide; be sure the work is your own and you include citations for each of the resources included. You may use a different format to present your work as long as the content requirements are met and you get approval from your instructor. Review the Grading Rubric to understand the requirements for the assignment.

All you need to do is look up all that info on whatever element you chose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait haha this isn't it one sec I don't need help with all of it just some

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha ok

Its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties based on that position Typical compounds formed by your element The history of your element's discovery Five uses for your element or its common compounds Where your element or its compounds can be found in the real world

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is it haha sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mmk let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

What does it mean by the first question??

#2 - Fluorides Americium trifluoride: AmF3 Americium tetrafluoride: AmF4 Chlorides Americium dichloride: AmCl2 Americium trichloride: AmCl3 Bromides Americium tribromide: AmBr3 Iodides Americium diiodide: AmI2 Americium triiodide: AmI3 Oxides Americium oxide: AmO Americium dioxide: AmO2 Diamericium trioxide: Am2O3 This is for the 2n question

#3 - answer This element was in fact discovered after curium, the element which follows it in the periodic table. However, it did once exist on Earth having been produced for millions of years in natural nuclear reactors in Oklo, Gabon. These ceased to function a billion years ago, and as the longest lived isotope is americium-247, with a half-life of 7370 years, none has survived to the present day. Americium was first made late in 1944 at the University of Chicago by a team which included Glenn Seaborg, Ralph James, Leon Morgan, and Albert Ghiorso. The americium was produced by bombarding plutonium with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. This produced isotope americium-241, which has a half-life of this is 432 years.

never mind about the 1st question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The most common use of Americium (241Am) is the detecting chemical in high-precision gas and smoke detectors. The radioactive traits pick up on the smoke and gas in ionization smoke detectors. Americium (241Am) has also been found to be useful in other areas such as a radiation source for thickness gauging and radiographic measurements. Americium (243Am) is used as a target material for production of transcurium elements (since the elements, americium and curium, are so closely related, that they are used for similar studies) in high neutron- flux reactors. Americium (241Am) is also a diagnostic aid for analysis of bone and mineral conditions. It is somewhat like a CAT scan. Sorry I could only find 4 uses
