element’s history (when/where it was first discovered and by whom).

Uses : Describe and explain in detail at least three distinctly different uses for the

element.

Characteristics : Include the following: the element’s chemical symbol, atomic

number, atomic mass, physical properties, chemical properties, typical

compounds and isotopes, plus additional interesting or unusual characteristics.
