Investigating An Element's Group In The Periodic Table

* Plants can remove metals from low grade ores. The metal can be recovered by processing the ash from burning the plants.

3. Examine the luster of the minerals in Figure 1.2 (p. 4 lab book). Place the letter A, B, C, D, or E in

1. Decide if the mineral is metallic or non-metallic based on its luster and streak.

7. The more-electronegative element in a binary compound is assigned the number equal to the charge it would have if it were an ion.

Due to these factors, this graduate student supplies a rating of ‘3’ concerning this element.

Copper is formed by the melting and cooling of molten rock and found fairly close to the Earths’ surface, alongside with silver it has sulphite within the ores as they are created in brine which is a boiling salty water deep within the Earths’ crust and then pushed up through ocean vents and create a chimney like effect. Gold is formed through Hydrothermal-hot water-fluids of which are extremely rich in sulphur and found generally near or in

It is necessary to identify the identity of two unknown metals. This is important because a metal scrap yard must know the identities of the metals before they can be recycled. It is also necessary to know what each metal is if a building is to be made using one or more of these metals. Identifying the metals will be done using intensive properties. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of material present. Density is an intensive property found with the formula D=m/v. Which is defined as mass divided by volume to find the density.

Nonmetallic properties tend to predominate for elements at the far right portion of the table.

These electrons, as is the case with the electrons of all atoms, are arranged in a series of shells and subshells. Copper atoms may be described by the symbolic notation, 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d9, where each leading number denotes the shell, the lower-case letter denotes the subshell, and the superscript specifies the number of electrons in the subshell. Within the s-, p-, and d-subshells, there are 1, 3, and 5 orbitals respectively. Each orbital may contain a maximum of 2 electrons. Thus, all orbitals in all the subshells occupied by electrons in the copper atom are full except for one orbital in the d-subshell in the third shell that has just one electron in it. Note that the highest shell containing electrons in the copper atom is the fourth

7) Rb, Na, Mg. This is because as you go across a period, the nuclear charge increases causing a large force of attraction in outer electrons. This makes it harder for metals to lose electrons so they are less reactive.

•physical characteristics:it is flexible, silver is very easy to work with it is a relatively soft shiny metal

Not all of the metals have the properties and characteristics below. Several components is also classified as metals consistent with one set of properties and as non-metals consistent with another

Metal and architecture has evolved over centuries, with successive eras opening up new technical and elegant possibilities through the development of different types of metals. Metals are dense, lustrous materials that are highly conductive of heat and electricity.

Out of many minerals in which a metal may be found, only a few are viable to be used as sources of that metal. Such minerals are known as ores. Examples: Galena, PbS, etc.
