now im not the best science person in the world, probobly the worst. I dont even really like science but i haveta do this project for year 8.
ok. ill show u wat i have to do and u give me the answers and then we're all happy :)
here it is below:
Element Trading Cards
For this project you will need to use the Internet to research the elements in the Periodic Table. Each card must include:
> Periodic Table info.
> Number of protons, neutrons, and electrons
> Discovery info (Person and date)
> Important Uses
> Pictures that illustrate one or more uses for your element
_____________
Fill in the square with the info from the periodic table. *Be sure to follow the same format.
Determine the number of protons (P), neutrons (N) , and electrons
Reserach ur element to find out who discovered or named ur element and give the year.
Provide at least 3 uses for ur element.
Provide one or moer pics on the back of the trading card thay illustrate uses for your element.
MY ELEMENTS ARE
Lithium and Mercury

please help me, thx post strait away :)
so on the periodic table contained in this website, click on the two elements in question, and do some research (should take about 2 minutes to find them, then 10 minutes to write down the appropriate information). It just requires some "thinking" and "work". This website is capable of answering 100% of your questions. To think, I actually had to dig through books back in the day to answer these questions :cry:
(Obviously, no offence to this website, but...)
I still quite enjoy looking through books.
AF Wells, Structural Inorganic Chemistry is one of my favourite.
It's not a particularly good read, but I just love the feel of it, and the way it lays out the information.
It also has a nice formula index, always useful when looking for a specific structure.
I don't know if anybody else finds this, but since I've been doing Chemistry at university, my alphabet is screwed up.
This is usually when looking up elements, if I'm looking for something to do with Iron, I look under F (which is understandable, even if the index doesn't list names with chemical symbols), and if I look for say Copper next, I will look at the entries after iron, because that's how it is in the periodic table.
don't get me wrong, I love my books. I have gobs of general chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, solid state chemistry (even an Organic Chem book I got at a bookstore sale 2$). They are irreplaceable for equations etc, but this website has all the basic information needed for high school level chem questions in 1 spot. Each element has a "history" link that readily gives credit to the discoverer, nuclear data for isotopes, electronic configurations.... Its perfect, and I wish it were around back in the early 90s.
can any mods and admins delete this post. im practcally done with this project :) goodbye forever.
remember to play RuneScape
www.runescape.com its the coolest game eva!! :)

I've always been rather fond of Greenwood & Earnshaw...
And I'm a bit of a fan of RJP Williams...
his book on the biological chemistry on the elements is great.
I only found out recently that not only was he still alive, but that he'd published a new edition of it!
I used to work in a wee room beside his office in the ICL at Oxford, he had bizarre 1970s plastic f-orbitals hanging from his ceiling!
