I am an electron and I took a journey to the element Neon. I am went with a group of 30 their are 10 of us electrons, 10 neutrons and 10 protons. The 10 neutrons and the 10 protons traveled to the nucleus and all the electrons traveled to the rest of the element. When we first got to the element their was a big sign "Ne" this is the elements symbol. Underneath the symbol was the atomic mass "20.1797". It is the 10th element. The electron neon belongs to the noble gases. The trip was very exciting we got to ride on the orbitals. Everywhere we went in the element their was orangeish red colored signs one of them said "valence electrons:5". What a great time we all had.

ReplyDeleteSilver Town
Hello my name is silver and im a metallic element and I live in a town called silver after myself of course, my class element is clas 11 I have the density of 293 though I can be melted my best feature is a solid in 298 degrees kelvin, I have about 47 protons/electrons in total, and 61 neutrons. In my town we have a beautiful place called Crystal Structure there you can turn into a pretty crystal mine is cubic, face-centered, that place tells us our atomic mass aswell my weight mass is 107.8682 plus my atomic number is Ag pretty nice huh, though whats impressing the number of my energy levels is 5 valence shells. Another important and cool place is Atomization and Vaporization, the Atomization place is a place that tells your special number my number is 284.09 kj mol-1, The Vaporization place is a reduction of water mine is 257.7 kj mol-1. But the Mass Magnetic Susceptibility musuem tells you your special mass, the silver mass of myself 2.27e-9 now the Molor Volume is a cool place that shows your volume mine is 10.335 cm3 mol-1 other elements get weaker ones I think I hae a really strong one. In this town we have a Thermal Conductivity theyr cars runned by heat each element has its heat my Thermal Conductivity is 429.0 w/m/k and last but not leats the Ground State Electron Configuration is a famous place where an element sees its electrons power state mine is strong its 4d 10 5s 1 that place is like a club we all dance.
Periodic Town of Elements
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time there was a Periodic Town of Elements in a far, far away land. There were these elements called Hydrogen and Oxygen. They were the heroes of the town and together they were unstoppable! Hydrogen’s atomic number was 1 for the best and Oxygen’s atomic number was 8 for his strength. Hydrogen has 1 was neutron and protons and Oxygen has 3 neutrons and 5 protons. What things that the towns elements didn’t know was that they were in love. They were always together and worked as a team. Each other was all they had, didn’t have no family but themselves. One day when they were in their home they heard a scream outside. It was Mercury and was struggling with Calcium. Calcium was trying to steal Mercury’s atoms to get even but Mercury was not ready to give them up. Hydrogen and Oxygen went to Mercury’s rescue in an instint. When they tried helping Mercury their individual power wasn’t strong enough. They had to think fast to help Mercury before it was to late. Then Hydrogen decided to put themselves together and their powers would be stronger. They put themselves together and reacted creating a substance. This substance was something had never seem before, it was WATER!! This new substance called water could change into a solid, liquid, or gas. It was an amazing form of substance. Water fought Calcium and defeated it in an instint, Calcium was defeated. THE END!!

I am an electron and I live in the town called Sodium. We are located in group 1, period 3 and our atomic number is 11. In total I have 11 electrons family members and that’s including me. Then there are 11 protons, my cousins that live in this town also. In addition I have 12 neutrons, which are my pets. Just all my family members live in this town, and we are undividable. We call ourselves the Sodians, but also we call ourselves the Alkali Metal. Our family came up with a shorter name for us, it is more of a symbol, and we are the “Na” short for sodium. Also when you put us all together, are mass is 22.9898. Also we have 1 valence charge. Also our melting point is 97.72 C or 370.87 K. Everyday my family, electrons, likes to go run around, or orbit, the protons and neutrons for exercise all day long. And that is all we do in this atom. Sounds fun doesn’t it.

Hello. My name is aluminum. I am here to tell you about the town that I live in. First, I will tell you a bit about myself. I am an element with 13 protons, 13 electrons, and 14 neutrons. My atomic number is 13, and my average atomic mass is 26.981. On my outermost electron shell, I have 3 electrons. These are known as my valence electrons. My electron/orbital configuration is [Ne]3s2 2p1. My wonderful family is called the other metals. Other members of my family include Gallium, Indium, Tin, Thallium, Lead and Bismuth. The city of Periodic Table of Elements is an odd city. My number is 13, so I am 13th in line for the crown of king of the city. Right now, Hydrogen is our king. If and when he ever dies, Helium will take its place as king. One day in this town, there was a town board of directors meeting, which of course is the top 12 elements in the city. I am number 13, so I got left out of this meeting. Somebody must have been out to get these 12 elements, because while they were at their board of directors meeting, somebody, somehow, gathered them up and smashed them to pieces. Since these 12 were killed and existed no longer, I was number 13, so I became king. This was the life: I had a mansion with 5 bedrooms, a swimming pool (both inside and outside), a bowling alley, and a movie theater. Hopefully I will stay here for a long time now.
ReplyDelete*This is my new story since my last one was not long enough.
ReplyDeleteI am an electron named Bob. Last week I took a journey to the element Neon. It was sort of a vacation for me, I love to travel. Most of my trip was spent sight seeing and learning interesting information about Neon. I had always wanted to travel to an element but just never got the chance, this was my first time actually visiting one.
I went with a bunch of my friends. There were 30 of us all together, nine other electrons, ten neutrons and ten protons. I had never met any of the neutrons and protons before, but after I got to know them we became friends. Electrons like to keep to themselves so we didn’t mingle with the other sub atomic particles too much; we mostly just orbited around them and watched.
When we got to Neon, after hours and hours of driving, we decided to split up into groups. All ten of the neutrons and all ten of the protons traveled to the nucleus while the rest of us electrons traveled to the rest of the element, the orbital. When we first got to the element there was a big sign "Ne" over the entrance, this is the elements symbol. Underneath the symbol was the atomic mass "20.1797" this only included the neutrons and protons. Later that day we decided to take a tour with of Neon.
On our tour we learned many interesting things. Our tour guide was very informative; we learned that neon is the 10th element in the periodic table, we learned that Neon was apart of the first 63 elements and apart of the first periodic table.. We learned that neon belongs to the noble gases, which is 18th group of the periodic table. As our tour went on we learned the even though neon is very common in the universe it is rarely found on earth.
The trip was very exciting we got to ride on the Atomic Orbital. Two of the electrons rode on the first orbital and eight of us rode on the outer orbital, we had so much fun. Everywhere we went in the element there was reddish-orange colored signs that glowed. One of them said "valence electrons: 5". We had such a great time on our trip. My favorite part is the electron configuration 2s^22p^6 sign. I like how it explained the level of energy of the electrons.
On our way home we had a big discussion about what we all learned. It was so interesting to hear what the other sub atomic particles had to say. One of the neutrons told us how their group, the protons and neutrons, was cramped in this tight space called the nucleus and how they didn’t get to ride the Atomic Orbital. I am sad to go home but I happy that I finally got to go to an actual element I hope to go again soon.

Once upon a time there was an element named iron one of the many elements from the periodic table of the elements. In the periodic table live many families there’s the non metals, alkali metals, rare earth elements and more, but also my family the transition metals. Hi, my name is Iron and I am a member of the transition metal’s family. I have a big family some of my family members are Manganese, Cobalt, nickel and copper. My atomic number is 26 plus I have 26 protons and 30 neutrons. My nickname or the name everybody calls me is "Fe" which comes from the Latin word "ferrum" which means iron. I am very well known because I’ve been known since prehistoric time. My atomic mass is 55.845 amu. In addition to all of this at my work I work with other metals sometimes I work with carbon and other metals. I am also used to make steel. My Electron Configuration is [Ar]4s23d6 but yes, I am a really cool element

Hello my name is Neon and I live in a town called Peridic table of Elements. I have a lot of interesting and fun facts to share with you guys. I was born with 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 11 nuetrons. My symbol is Ne which is short for Neon and i have an atomic number of 10 and an atomic mass of 20.1797. Even tough I am very rare on earth, I am a very common element in the universe. A little bit about my town, uhhhh lets see, I am located in the Noble gases part of town. My neighbors are helium, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. We all have very similar properties, which includes being odorless, colorless, and are monatomic gases. Because we are so much a like, we are all placed in group 18 because we consider ourselves as a family. Ok well lets see, what else do i have to include about myself, oh yeah, I have two energy levels. The first energy level has 2 and the second has 8 energy levels. I only have one parent and that is Sir William Ramsay because he is the one who discovered me in 1898. I have a boiling point of -246.1 °C and a melting point of -248.6 °C. Oh yeah, I also have very cool reddish orange glow when used in discharge tubes. Thats pretty much it about me, so come visit me sometime. You can find me just remember I am located at Periodic Table Of Elements in the Noble gases section, in group 18.

ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time in a far away city called Periodic Land, there were these two elements from same group. The elements were Platinum and Titanium. The two elements were best friends; they knew everything about each other. Titanium knew that Platinum’s atomic mass was 195.078. And Platinum’s atomic mass is 47.867. Their families were close too they came from the family of transition metals.
ReplyDeleteHigh school came along. Platinum started to date other boy elements and left Titanium all alone. Titanium was very envy selfish little element he would do anything to get Platinum back, even if it was making her unhappy.
One cloudy gray day, Titanium was seeking for revenge to get back at Platinum. He was planning to steel Platinum’s protons, neutrons, electrons. She had 79 protons, 117 neutrons, 79 elections. Titanium only had 22 protons, 26 neutrons, 22 elections. He thinks stealing all of platinum’s electrons, protons, and elections will give him power. He thinks with all this power Platinum will come back into his life.
A couple weeks has past, Platinum has wanting to talk to Titanium for the longest time. But Titanium had been holding a grudge and ignoring Platinum. She could not take it any more she wants to be friends with Titanium again. So she called him and asks him if they could talk things over. He was shocked that she would have the nerve to even call but he agreed to meet up with her. Titanium was still full of anger with her and is still wants revenge.
The day they got together, they talked things over. Titanium wanted to still get back at her, so the plan was still in action. While Titanium and Platinum were talking, the trap sucked all Platinum’s neutrons, elections, and electrons. She was vanished and disappeared forever. Titanium was feeling so guilty, he has lost the love of his life. He could never forgive himself for making the biggest mistake. From this day one he learned his lesson. THE END!!!

One day long time ago there was an element that doesn’t know who he is and where he belongs in the town of the periodic table. This element name was hydrogen. Hydrogen has been to each group but he never belonged in those groups anyways. There were the transition metals, the noble gases, alkali metals, alkali earth metals and nonmetals.
ReplyDeleteHydrogen first thought he belonged with the noble gases since he was a gas himself. So as hydrogen went to the noble gases they welcomed him with great pleasure that they have a new member. The first few days hydrogen was getting bored because all the noble gases do is sit there an do nothing because they are really non reactive. Hydrogen was getting tired of sitting ad doing nothing, since noble gases have servants who cater to their every whim but hydrogen was bored so he decided to leave the group.
Hydrogen traveled to the next section of the table and found himself in the nonmetals group and since hydrogen was not a metal he thought this be a best place. Though of course again hydrogen felt like he didn’t belong here because most of the nonmetals are really active ad hydrogen is starting to get tired and so once again hydrogen packed his proton and electron and only 1 of them because hydrogen travels light and that’s how he gets to places so quick.
As he traveled through the table he never thought he find himself at the transition metals. On his way there to the transition metals, bandits of the poor metals attacked him. As hydrogen tries to run away he almost got caught but then the as he crossed the border to the transition metals came and helped hydrogen by defending him. When the poor metals fled, the transition metals welcomed hydrogen to their group and it was a big area to so hydrogen thought he would fit in perfectly somewhere between the group. As hydrogen go though the whole group he hasn’t found any place he fitted in yet, so hydrogen said his good byes and went to the next group.
He went to a small group called alkali earth metals. Not many elements lived here so hydrogen thought he could fit in with them although the elements were quiet and didn’t talk much. Hydrogen tried to communicate with them and traded electrons and neutrons and protons but hydrogen didn’t have much to trade so hydrogen left the group to the last group he knew for sure he fits in.
So as hydrogen arrived at the alkali metals he didn’t fit in at all since he was a gas and they were solids and it didn’t work out like it didn’t work out with the rest of the groups. Hydrogen was to reactive when he walked around the group because they react when hydrogen around well some of them. So hydrogen didn’t want any trouble so he left and went far away till he found this empty spot. He liked this spot where there was no one around and so hydrogen made a group of his own, this is how hydrogen became by itself rather then be in any of the groups.

ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, an element named Gold was very bored one summer, so he decided
to go visit his transition metal family, that lived in a small village called Periodic table of the elements. When gold reached his family he was so glad to be home. Gold spent many days having fun with
his family. one hot evening, gold’s mother decided to tell gold his history. The first thing that his mother told him was that his symbol of element was Au. It seemed that Gold was really interested in hearing
his history from his mom. “And your atomic number is 79”, said Gold’s mom. “I knew that mom”, responded Gold to his mother. “Ok, then let me tell you this”, said the mom. “Did you know that you have 79 electrons
and protons ? “. “I never knew that mom, tell me more”. “You also have 118 protons”, said mom. “Cool mom”, answered gold.
“you have 6 energy levels”, said mom. “Ooh…” said gold. “You’re average atomic mass is 196.966 55”, told his mom. “You’re melting point is 1064.43 °C, and you’re boiling point is 2807.0 °C”, told the mom. As the mom continued , Gold had fallen asleep.
Hello my family name is Neon. I live in the town called Alkaline-Earth Metals and my neighbors are Helium, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon. My neighboring town in Halogens and my friend Bromine lives there. I have a semi-big family. We have 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 11 neutrons. We are all very close and we all look alike. We don't smell and we are colorless. Unless we are used in a discharge tube, that is when we turn a reddish orange color. Since we are very close we love going places. We have a lot of energy. We have 2 levels of energy. One has 2 and the other has 8. When we are feeling very energetic we like going to the local movie theater and bowling alley.
ReplyDeleteWhen we are at our house, we like cooking dinner. When we boil we boil at 27.07 K and when we are at room temperature we are in a gaseous state. It is a very easy life living as a neon element because when we are at room temperature we are unable to be seen so we get away with a lot. Which is not always a good thing, like when you're out to dinner and the waiter cannot see you to take your order, so its not always great. Well thats all i can tell you about my family!

Hi, I am the element Lithium. I am a member of the alkali metal family, which is group 1 on the periodic table. My family members include sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and francium. Hydrogen believes he is part of our family but he rarely shows similar traits. With only 1 valence electron, we are considered the most reactive elements there are. We typically live in oil, to protect ourselves from the air. Air can corrode our surfaces when we come into contact with it.
ReplyDeleteIn normal weather, I am the lightest metal and the least dense. Since I am so reactive, I am always seen on earth as a compound. I was first discovered by Jons Jakob Berzelius who named me "lithos". Lithos means "stone" in Greek which is where I was found. Like most samples of lithium, I am easily deformed and my melting and boiling points are lower than most metals. About 100 years ago, I was used to treat metabolic arthritis and today I am used as a mood stabilizer. I am also used in disposable and rechargeable batteries.

Story
Long time ago, there was a town called periodic table. In this town there were many elements. There are 18 groups and 7 periods in this town. Those groups are alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals, transition metal, Halogens, Nobel Gases, and other nonmetals. There are 118 elements and each element has electron, proton, neutron atomic umber and mass. The hero of this town is Nitrogen. Nitrogen is also known as symbol N. Nitrogen is located in group number 15 and period 2. His atomic number is 7and his mass is 14.0067. Nitrogen is a colorless gas. Nitrogen has 7 electrons, 7 protons, and 8 neutrons. Nitrogen wasn’t very well known person in this town. But one day he became town hero.
One day in this town there was an element name Helium. Helium is the leader of the Noble gases and the boss of town. Helium was doing a very big experiment. Suddenly, helium got caught on fire accidentally. Nitrogen was helping Helium in his experiment. When Nitrogen saw that Helium got on fire, Nitrogen uses his gas on him to stop the fire and than Nitrogen saved his life. If nitrogen didn’t saved helium at that time the town will be ruined. The town could go in big depression. Nitrogen uses his gas first time in his life. So on that day nitrogen became there hero for saving helium. Nitrogen saved many other lives. The town found a way to stop a fire and he was only one guy to stop the fire. Nitrogen became one of the famous guy in the town because he saved many lives. Nitrogen became elements idol and they loved nitrogen for ever by saving helium. On that day Nitrogen life was changed.
In a city of Periodic table there was an element called Sodium, also know as"Na" he is a hard working element always tries to find his way to combine with the other element. he is at group 1 period 3 of the periodic table This element is really soft and highly active element. also it's part of the alkali metals. this city of periodic contain many element, he can't find anybody that could combine with him. because of this reason he keep trying and trying of how to find an element that could combined with him. So he start doing research, testing himself. Later he found that he has the atomic number 11 with atomic mass around 23 amu. because of the atomic number and it's mass it tells him about how many electron, neutron and proton he has. he starts doing some calculation. After the calculation he found he has 11 proton and 11neutron and 11electron. this tells him that how many valence electron they need to make it stable. later he learned that he need 7 valence electron to make it stable or to lose 1 electron, he chose lose one electron. so he kept trying and trying he even found his electron configuration of 3s^1. Later he find a girl name chlorine with atomic mass 35.433 and atomic number with 17 with when he loses one it can be combined. He was so happy of the work he kept on doing and doing. because of how they are going to combine. they start going out. later, they form NACL. also known as sodium chroline. which is also known as common salt or table salt, this it a chemical compound. because of this it creates many thing that could really helps the element and creates more different mixture/compound. This story shows people who works hard will always creates a impossible mystery.

I screamed as loud as my throat would allow. A hurricane of kinetic energy swirled ferociously overhead. I sensed bubbles erupting allover my body as my skin began to boil. Everywhere around me began vaporizing and I saw my sister, Protonia, shriek as she began to be sucked into the endless whirpool above. I grabbed my mother, Mama Electra, and I pulled her in closer. I used all my strength to keep her from leaving like Protonia did. I scanned the surrounding land and frowned in desperation. Neither of us were familiar with the outer orbitals and we were both at a loss with survival. I looked down and found a soft spot in the earth and we dug to immerse ourselves deep into our hometown, Mercury.
ReplyDeleteHours later, when the heat had subsided, we emerged from our underground cocoon. The once silvery hills of Mercury, Periodica were barren and uninhabited. A town that had once housed eighty protons, a hundred and twenty-one neutrons, and eighty electrons was a ghost town. The vicious roaring of the hurricane still was barely able to be heard in the distant but I still felt uneasy about it.
“BZZZ!” a loud buzzing caused both Mama Electra and I to turn our heads in anxiousness. A few feet ahead of us was a tiny bouncing ball glowing energy and buzzing at a pitch that was almost inaudible. I took a step back in surprise but the sphere floated up with grace and a tiny mouth appeared. “All of the state of Transititonia Metalus has been destroyed by the heat wave. Nearby cities such as Goldera and Cadmium were transformed into a liquid and are flooding our state. I was sent by the Head-of-State from the capital, Noble Gastington, to rescue any survivors by means of helium transportation. Another hurricane is developing in Ironira and it is said to be even larger and more destructive than the first. It is predicted that it is headed towards atomic numbers seventy-eight through eighty-one and since Mercury’s atomic number is eighty this puts you right in the middle of the disaster. Anyways, if you would like to board the helium atom we can transport you to the nearest safe destination” I looked at Mama Electra as she fell to the floor in tears. “Neutro, I cannot go on! I am too weak. I will stay here and receive medical aid. Please, Neutro, find Protonia, save her optimistic, positive soul! I will be okay, I promise.” Her eyes smiled with genuine sincerity and I knew, I just knew, she would be okay.
I stepped onto the hovercar provided by the Department of Safety and Transportation in Helium and began to get my balance. I wobbled around for the first few minutes but I eventually got the hang of it. I started towards the hurricane, took a deep breath and mentally prepared myself for the danger ahead. I was on a mission to save my sister and I would stop at nothing to get her back. I followed for hours, my legs sore from the exhausting workout but I was determined. Suddenly, the flat land abruptly dropped and a saw the massive pool. Light green gas swirled below me, flowing like water, yet majestic like clouds. A soft humming played and I was entranced. I lowered my hoverboard and as I came closer to the city the humming began to sound like cries of sadness. Forms of subatomic particles appeared below me but one voice stood out … PROTONIA! I swooped down to reach her hand but as I got closer to the gas my hoverboard became more and more unbalanced. She reached desperately for my hand but the lower my center of gravity was the more wobbly the board got. She breathed deeply and paddled with all her strength and finally gripped onto the side of the board. I sped to the edge of the cliff therefore risking my life and hers in the same tense situation. The hoverboard shattered as it hit the ground but I was grateful that my sister and I only suffered minor injuries. We began the journey on foot and prepared for a long adventure.
At last, we came upon a sign at the very end of the crater that read “Chlorinora, Halogen Atomic Number: 17 Atomic Mass: 35. 453” My sister turned to me with a huge smile on her face. She was exhausted but she managed to utter, “Chlorinora! We’re in the state of Halogen! Neutro, we’re almost to the capital!” I nodded, “I know! Chlorinora’s atomic number is seventeen which means we’re almost to Noble Gasington! When we get there we can notify the Department of Safety and Transportation in Helium and rescue Mama Electra and the other survivors. Mama is always so negative, I wish we could find a way to cheer her up. I felt terrible leaving her in Mercury.” She furrowed her eyebrows, “Yes, we will save Mama Electra and make her happy again. As the only Protonia in the family it is my duty to make Mama positive again!”
We continued on our voyage, sore legs, callused feet, and tired minds. A crackling sound had followed us throughout the trip but a loud crackle surrounded us. Sparks flew everywhere and we turned to each other in our moment of need. Fire encircled us and explosions made my skin boil. My ears rang with the loud roar of the fire but I ran with all of my reserved energy. Protonia seemed to be dragging me but I felt I couldn’t run from this disaster any longer. The reaction burned my insides and I fell to the ground. I closed my eyes, this heat was unbearable. She pulled and pulled but my body resisted. Suddenly, the fire began to spin and the wind created a whirlwind of fire which enveloped us. I managed to open an eye to see not only a hoverboard, but a hovercar coming to our rescue. Helium electrons rushed to my aid and carried me into the transportation device. I closed my eyes and fell sleep.
I woke up in a bright white room in a nucleus of an unknown town. Positive protons rushed all around me and I heard the familiar voice of my sister, Protonia. “We made it! We took the path through Fluorinio, the most reactive of all elements. We could have died Neutro! But luckily the Department of Safety and Transportation found us. They’ve already retrieved all of the survivors throughout the states of Transitonia Metalus and Halogen. Hundreds of electrons were injured in Chlorinora, were you rescued me. All of the sick subatomic particles were kept here in Helium but the others were sent to Krypton and Xenon for the meantime. You are my hero! You are everyone’s hero!” I turned to peer into the bed next to me where I saw my mother, Mama Electra sleeping peacefully. “No, Protonia, we are ALL heroes.” I smiled and slowly drifted off to sleep.

One fine day my mom took me to her secret laboratory wear her and a bunch of other scientist do secret work. Well as curious as can be a started to wonder and found myself in a room with the periodic table posted on the walls and experiments everywhere. I then noticed this very specific experiment labeled "neon". As I took a step to look closer I accidentally stepped on a hidden button which then shrunk me into a subatomic particle! I then decided why not take a closer look. As I journeyed through the element I found it had 10 electrons, 10 protons, and 10 neutrons. Then I figured the atomic number must be 10 and the atomic weight 20. As the shrinking ray started to wear off I noticed it had 5 valence electrons. As soon as I was back to full size I ran over to the charts on the walls and saw that it was a rare part of the noble gases, and was discovered by sir William Ramsey. My mom bursted in worried and said I shouldn't be in that room because it was very dangerous, but she didn't even know the half of it. Although it was a very unexpected trip I couldn't wait to go back to work with my mom.

ReplyDeleteOne day in a peaceful town of the periodic table there were three elements that always caused a ruckus around the transition metals group. They were gold, silver, and platinum. All their arguing started when they were hanging out one day but then they wanted to see whose the better element. Gold says he was because he’s really rare and hard to find. Platinum said that I may be cheaper then gold but I look shinier and nicer. Silver on the other hand said that he was found more often then both of them and cheaper.
These three never did fight in the first place; in fact they were friends until this argument started. The other elements around them didn’t like all the noise so as each passing night the surrounding elements couldn’t get much sleep and started to lose their protons, electrons, and neutrons and start to become inactive. Eventually the elements start to become like noble gases and not do anything.
Meanwhile, when the elements are dying and losing energy due to lack of sleep gold, silver, and platinum were arguing and neglecting the complaints from the surrounding elements. Gold say he’s the best since he was made for first place trophies, but silver said that first was the worse and second was the best, platinum said he was used in jewelry more which basically had nothing do what gold and silver was talking about but platinum just wanted in on it.
So after few weeks the three elements started to lose their protons, neutrons, and electrons. They stopped arguing and wanted to find out why they are losing their energy. Later on they found out the surrounding elements have lost many protons, electrons, and neutrons, and they were taking it from gold, silver, and platinum.
To solve this they broke away their differences and shared their energy with the other elements so slowly the other elements started to gain back their energy and then eventually they slowly recovered and they were back to normal. After all the elements were better again gold, silver, and platinum forgot why they were fighting and became friends once more.

Hey mz.G how are u doing??? My name is silver and I’m a shiny and metallic element, I live in a town called THE periodic TABLE of ELEMENTS, my elemental group is the 11th group. When u get to know me u will come to find, I’m like seriously HELLUH dense, like on time.. My friend gold threw a rock at me and he was like.. “Wow Silver your really dense” and I was all like, “I know. For some reason I get that a lot..” in fact my density is like 293 but I can be melted, at 298 degrees Kelvin I can be considered SOLID, I am built up of exactly 47 protons, 61 neutrons and exactly 47electrons in total. =). I think I’m gaining though.. my weight mass is 107.8682. You can find me on the periodic table listed as… Ag!!! ß- BEAST. In this town, periodic table of elemntzzz we have something called a Thermal Conductivity. and each element has its own Thermal Conductivity which is 429.0 w/m/k and then there’s also a Ground State Electron Configuration… that’s about all there really is for me to do in a city like the periodic table.. But I am the prettiest element though.. I mean come on.. Who don’t like silver

A recount on how the periodic table came to be
ReplyDeleteElements have comprised the periodic table for over 150 years. However they weren't always what they appeared to be today. Chaos used to plague the periodic table, disorder and confusion was the feeling of all its residents. This is the story of brave young Titanium and how he found his place on the table.
Titanium was established as one of the toughest metals around. He was originally in period 4 group 4 on the periodic table. His master Mendeleev placed him there. He was put in that spot because of his atomic mass. Him and his whole group were strangely similar hence his placement on that row. However his master knew there would be more of his family to come so he was placed beside blank boxes. Titanium felt so lonely sometimes by he had hope that his master or other masters would fill the lonely void he felt.
Eventually Mendeleev was not heard of for a while and Titanium began to loose hope. Forty years later a new master came along with new ideas. His name was Moseley. Moseley studied Titanium and his family very closely and discovered that they were arranged incorrectly. A huge reorganization was in the midst which frightened Titanium’s neighbors but Titanium was really excited. Titanium always felt like he didn’t belong anyhow.
Word was that Moseley was arranging Titanium’s family in accordance to atomic number. Such order was unheard of by Titanium and his brethren. However, Titanium was happy to learn that his old master had it right somehow. Mendeleev was correct in believing that when elements are arranged properly that elements with similar properties appear at regular intervals. In the end, Titanium finally found his spot in the periodic table, home sweet home on group and period 4 and there he remained happily ever after.
Glossary

A Town Called Matter
ReplyDeleteThere was a town called Matter, most people loved to visit there because of the happy Solids they were people that made you feel welcomed and whole, they never were sad their Chemical Reactions would make people smile. This wonderful town was located in the many parts of the sacred mountains also known as States of Matter, though in that town there were also two types of people Reactants and Products, my name is Mass and im like the tour guide of the town, I have two best friends Volume and Weight they help me around town. Volume takes care of showing tourists around the beautiful unit Quantity through the waterfalls of Conversion Factor, Weight takes care of the Physical Property grasslands and the Density islands though of course many visit the Chemical Propertie mountains said to bring change. The Atom garden is our most famous one because of the beautiful Pure Substance flowers and Element roses once you pluck our flowers you’ll feel the Molecules, we like to breed our roses with Mixtures of Compounds it brings out the color of them. The types of Mixtures we use are the Homogeneous and the Hetrogenous those two Mixtures make the flowers look outstanding. The next famous place there is Evaporation town, it’s a small tow next to Matter town though the diference with their town compare to ours is that a lot of water related functions are shown like water fountains and streams, they also have two places that tourists go those to places are the Physical Change amusement park and the Chemial Change café.

Ionic compounds and covalent compounds
ReplyDeleteIonic compounds can be found anywhere, but what exactly are ionic compounds? Well ionic compounds are materials compbined with a metal and non-matal material with a positive charged combined with anions that are negatively charged and have an ionic compound and still have no metal atoms contained in it. But its ionic if the material contains metals and non-metals, for an example the compound that’s ionic is sodium oxide, because it contains metal, sodium and a non-metal oxygen therefore it would be an ionic material it would have ionic bonding, other ionic compounds are potassium nitrate and manganese.
Covalent compounds are just like ionic but different, theses compounds have only non-metals it has the same positiv and negative charged atoms but with only non-metals, there are exceptions to those generalities. The exceptions involve polyatomic ion ammonium, those two contain only non-metals, so it is possible to have non-metals found in ammonium, nitrogen and hydrogen in the form of NH4 with positive charge. The covalent compound examples are, water, ammonium, sulfur and carbon tetrachloride. Because in water it contains hydrogen and oxygen which both are non-metals.
