Periodic Table

Some of the solid metals on the periodic table include iron, copper, zinc, silver, gold, and aluminum. These metals have a wide range of uses and properties, such as conductivity, strength, and malleability.

On the left all the way up to the line that separates the metals from the metalloids and nonmetals.

When group 1 elements (such as lithium, sodium, potassium) react with nonmetal elements, they typically form ionic compounds. These compounds consist of a metal cation from the group 1 element and a nonmetal anion, resulting in salts like lithium chloride (LiCl), sodium fluoride (NaF), or potassium iodide (KI).

the place where an element sits on a periodic table is not chosen by anyone. the place where it sits is chosen by it's atomic number or the number of protons it has

eg lithium 3 protons its third

The periodic table is organized so that elements with similar chemical properties are aligned in columns...hence, if you the chemical prop. of one element, then it is reasonable to assume that the other elements in the same column will have similar prop. O3

A deck of cards.

Fluorine is the element that most readily accepts electrons because it has a high electronegativity value, meaning it has a strong attraction for electrons. It only needs one more electron to complete its outer electron shell.

All elements have protons and electrons. All but hydrogen have neutrons. All elements have isotopes which vary in neutrons but have the same amount of protons as the original element. Different elements never have the same amount of protons so scientists gave these elements their "atomic number" based on the amount of protons the element has. atomic number = amount of protons.

The most common calcium isotope, calcium-40, has 20 neutrons.

Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, are unlikely to bond with other elements due to their stable electronic configuration. These elements have a full valence shell of electrons, making them chemically unreactive.

Cl, chlorine is an element, Cl2 is the molecular form of the element. When 'free' chlorine is so reactive that it will react with itself to form diatomic (2 atoms) molecules, but it is still an element.

It depends what your target audience is, what your interest is and very very importantly what you can get the best information on. Perhaps do a report on a common element or well-known element or widely used element or common-on-earth or in biochemical-structures element. Examples would be hydrogen, lithium, calcium, magnesium, gold, silver, iron, nickel, copper, iron, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, silicon... If you want to try and explore less-often-in-conversation-mentioned element, try ruthenium, rubidium, barium, cadmium, bismuth, thallium or caesium. If it's a sort of basic-overview report I wouldn't do it on recently artificially synthesised elements like einsteinium, americium, seaborgium or ununoctium.

The first 92 (through uranium) occur naturally. The others are "transuranics." As of 2009, there are 118 ending with ununoctium.

All together there are 117 elements on the periodic table, 94 of which occur naturally on earth.

According to Wikipedia, there are 117 elements that have been isolated or synthesized, with a gap between element 116 and element 118.

They do also show a wide (extended) format of periodic table with additional elements that have not been discovered, isolated, or synthesized on earth.

The inner transitional metals contain 2 main groups, the lanthanide series, and the actinide series (f block elements).

The lanthanide series include the 14 elements that proceed lanthanum (atomic number 57) from atomic numbers 58 to 71. Their electron configuration include the 4f and 5d energy levels. Because of the closeness of those two levels, there is considerable uncertainty in some electron configuration assignments.

The actinide series include the 14 elements that proceed actinium (atomic number 89) from atomic numbers 90 to 103. The electron configurations of the actinides are even more uncertain than the lanthanides because the closeness of the energy levels and because the nuclei are unstable to radioactive decay. Only minute amounts of some elements are obtained because of their instability. All of the actinides are unstable with respect to alpha emission. The later members tend to undergo spontaneous fission, a fact which limits the number of elements possible.

As you pass from left to right and from one line to the next line below it, you are incrreasing the atomic number of each element, one proton at a time. As the protons increase, so do the electrons, and they fill up shells and start new shells. Chemical properties depend mainly on the number of electrons in the outermost shell (for transition state elements it doesn't work exactly by shells, since in the heavier elements it is possible for an electron in an inner shell to nonetheless be farther from the nucleus than some electrons in the outer shell, but that is an added complication). So, elements in the same group have the same number of outer, or valance electrons as they are known.

The second principal energy level has a maximum of three sublevels. These sublevels are s, p, and d, with s having 1 orbital, p having 3 orbitals, and d having 5 orbitals.

Boron (B), phosphorus (P), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), fluorine (F), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), iodine (I). There's nine for you.
