Metals, Metalloids (semi-metals), and Nonmetals

Your Mission:


  • Research 1 metal, 1 metalloid (semi-metal), and 1 nonmetal (your choice).

  • Mark them on the periodic table below by outlining the square in colored ink.

  • Complete the research requirements for EACH one.

NOTE: Be sure to turn this handout in. It is part of your grade. (one per group)

Research Requirements


NOTE: Complete this list for each element you research.

  • Name of element

  • Create a square from the periodic table of the metal, metalloid, and nonmetal you are researching. Be sure to include atomic number, symbol, element name, and atomic mass. Example:

http://library.thinkquest.org/c0110275/images/carbon.gif



  • Is it a metal, metalloid, or non-metal?

  • List three to five physical properties, and tell which of these properties indicate it is a metal, metalloid, or non-metal.

  • Overview:

    • How is it used?

    • Who discovered it, or how was it discovered?

    • Where / how do we find it? (many elements do not occur in their pure form in nature. Most are found as part of a compound.)

    • Other facts of interest

  • Works Cited – (Where you got your information)

Good Websites to use:


  1. About.com Chemistry: http://chemistry.about.com/library/blperiodictablekids.htm Interactive periodic table that gives information about each element.

  2. Los Alamos National Laboratory: http://periodic.lanl.gov/index.shtml Interactive periodic table

  3. Chemistry 4 Kids: http://www.chem4kids.com/files/elem_intro.html - Has a list of common elements with easy to read information.

  4. http://www.ptable.com/ - Interactive periodic table that gives information about each element.

Presentation:


You will work by yourself.

You may complete this in many different ways. The easiest and best way is just to fill out the template provided for each of your elements. However, you may also do a poster, a booklet, a pamphlet, a children’s book, or anything else you can come up with as long as each and every research requirement is present. You may do this as in an electronic format such as a PowerPoint, or Prezi.

Terbium

Example:

Terbium


Metal

Terbium was discovered by Carl Mosander in 1843 in Sweden. It was named after the town of Ytterby, a village in Sweden.



Physical Properties:

  • Terbium is a soft, highly malleable, silvery-gray, rare-earth metal that can be cut with a knife.

  • Density: 8.23 grams per cubic centimeter

  • METAL: malleable, lustrous, and very dense.

Uses:

  • Crystal stabilizer in fuel cells

  • Activator for green phosphors in television tubes

  • Make laser light

Today, terbium can be obtained from the minerals xenotime (YPO4) and euxenite ((Y, Ca, Er, La, Ce, U, Th)(Nb, Ta, Ti)2O6),. It is a rare-earth metal also found in cerite, gadolinite and monazite.

Other Interesting Facts

  • Considered mildly toxic and does not rapidly tarnish in the air.
