    Element: Lithium Lithium and Its Basic Characteristics The chemical element Lithium (Li) has an atomic number 3and is the first member of the Alkali metal family. This element is also the least dense of all the metals – about half of the density of water. Lithium is a very soft silvery metal that has a melting point of 180.54˚c and a boiling point of 1,335˚c. This is an active element but nit as active as the other Alkali metals. This element reacts slowly on a water having a room temperature and

    What is Calcium? The chemical element Calcium (Ca) is a malleable, ductile, soft metal. It's located in period four and group two of the periodic table. Calcium atoms have 20 electrons and 20 protons, there are two valence electrons in the outer shells. Its mass number is approximately 40.08. Calcium has four stable isotopes including 40Ca, 42Ca, 43Ca, and 44Ca; 97% of naturally occurring calcium is in the isotope 40Ca. Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons, but

    All the chemical elements are given a unique atomic number; copper is the 29 atomic numbers. Atoms are made of three kinds of smaller particles, called protons, neutrons and electrons the atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. Each element is first identified at room temperature and pressure as being solid, liquid or gas therefore copper is a solid. Elements, like copper, have other properties and characteristics physical properties can be observed and measured whereas chemical properties

    Strontium is a chemical element with symbol Sr and atomic number (protons in nucleus) 38 and atomic weight 88.1 It is a soft, silver-gray metal, and has physical and chemical properties like to Calcium and Barium. It is available as four stable isotopes ubiquitously (Isotopes are differ in forms of an by number of protons in nucleus but possess a variable number of neutrons.) Strontium-88 is the most dominant among other forms, comprising 83% of natural strontium, where in additional three stable

    Chemical Reaction Lab Report The purpose of this experiment is to determine why the distance between beaker A and beaker B increase or decrease the amount of visible vapor. An acid-base neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. Evidence of a chemical reaction is that a gas is formed. I noticed that a thicker, denser gas was formed when beaker A and B were right next to each other as opposed to when they were about a meter apart. If an acid-base neutralization reaction

    communicate information about the use of the modern atomic theory and periodic law to explain the characteristics of atoms and elements. Dalton had come up with the atomic theory which said “that all matter is made of atoms, all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties, compounds are combinations of two or more different types of atoms, and a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.” we learned so much from this theory, we know that the atoms are not indivisible because

    composed up of one sodium and one chlorine atom. There are not natural sources of chlorine in its pure element (gas) form. But it is mostly found in the earth's crust along with sodium, potassium, and manganese chlorides. The impacts chlorine has on the environment depends on how long it is the environment and how much of the substance is present. Sometimes chlorine combines to form harmful chemicals that gets into water
