Hey
guys! I’m back! I get to talk to you guys about more sciency stuff! Guess what
this topic is about! Well, I’ll give you some hints. It’s about something pure.
Um… Oh! I got another hint! It organized extremely well; a little confusing but
after you learn about it, it gets easy! Have you guessed yet? Well, if you read
the title you would know what it is… But if you didn’t read it, don’t! I’m
about to tell you. It’s about the Periodic Table of Elements.
The
Periodic Table is a tabular chart that lists all of the chemical elements that occur in
the universe. The elements are categorized by the property of their atoms. I know that you have probably seen the Periodic Table before. It looks really complicated, but it really isn't. If you really think about it, it isn't that hard. The Periodic Table is organized so it is easier to see how all the elements relate or differ from one another. Atoms are the smallest part of an element. Elements are consisted of only the same type of atoms. So, if you had one drop of water, and you added more drops, it would make more water! Did that make sense? Hopefully... Okay, lets get back to science. Atoms are made up of a nucleus, protons and neutrons. It is also formed with a number
That wasn't that hard, was it? Well, it won't get much harder. The elements are listed by their atomic number. The atomic number is the number or protons that are consisted in the nucleus. The atomic number is listed across the top of the element square. When you read across the Periodic Table, there are rows. These rows are called periods. Periods show how many electrons the element consists of. As you go across the period, the outer electron shell will fill up. By the end, the shell will be full. The 6th and 7th rows consisted of so many electrons, that they had to put some elements and put them below the rest of them!
The Periodic Tale is organized in many oter ways, too. Another way is called groups. Groups are vertical columns. There are 18 There are organized by how many electrons are in the outer electron shell. Groups are that simple! There are plenty of more ways that this tabular chart is organized. It is organized by color into different catagories, the different properties. There are two basic catagories, metals (2/3 of the elements) and non-matals (1/3 of the elements). In the metals, there are a couple sub-catagories. There are alkali metals (sodium; can react with water to produce alkaline solutions, alkaline-earth metals(calcium; combinations of water and these element found all over the world, produe alkaline solutions), transition metals (iron; they are strong and shiny), and poor metals (lead; they are soft with low melting points). Then there are semimetals (silicon; they conductelectricity only under certain confidtions and are useful in electronics). Finally, there are the non-metals. There are non-metals (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen; has a variety of properties and are vital to life on earth) and noble gases (helium and neon; they have an outer electron shell that is full, and they don't often react woth other elements. Any of the elements that have a atomic number above 92 (uranium) has to be made in a lab because it is too unstable to be made in nature.

There ya go! You got some basic (and some non-basic...) information about the Periodic Table! Did you like my blog? Comment your thoughts for me please! :D
Don't worry, I can take some negative reviews...
*Says, but still hoping that there aren't any*
xoxo Teemster! :D
It was amazing. Proof read a little more. I only found 3 mistakes in the whole blog so its not bad at all. The writing was greaat and you covered all the topics. Fenomenal job.
ReplyDeleteproof read my love! other than that it was amaZAYN! B+
ReplyDeleteForgot the grade: A
ReplyDeletei agree with "sparky" and "ion turtle" you do need to proof read, and dont make these huge paragraphs! i didnt want to read them bbecuase they were too intimadating. but nice pictures!! overall 83%
ReplyDeleteThe background is very cool and the info was very good, but I would add more pictures. Grade: A
ReplyDeleteYou knew what you were talking about and used acceptional grammar A++
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody I know I should've proff read it a little more and added some pictures but I ran out of time :/ But i will take the adivice and use it! Thanks! :D
ReplyDeleteHello!!!!! I like your overall post! I like your full information and I like your personality shown! BUT it would be better if there are more multimedia// As I told you right infront of you:) BUT Im giving you A!!!!!!!!!!!!!
