Atomic Box Project (30 pts) due 12/18/14 Name: Grace Fried

Per. 5
You are going to make an atomic box for our classroom periodic table. Each box will
be 7 x 7 inches with a border. Each box should include this information:
o Atomic number (1 tall bright! )
o Atomic Symbol (2 tall bright!)
o Element Name (bold!)
o Melting point (C)

Fun fact

Uses

o Where your element is found (or mined)


o Who and when your element was discovered (if
known).

o Boiling point (C)


o Atomic mass or weight
o phase

o a radioactive symbol if your element is


radioactive

o Group (Alkali, Alkaline-Earth, Transition Metals, Boron


Group, Carbon Group, Nitrogen Group, Oxygen Group,
Halogen, Inert Gases, Lanthanide Series, Actinide Series)

o if its a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal


o Picture (hand drawn- of something your
element is used in)

Your Names and period in lower right hand


corner

A. Your Atomic box must have a border (no bigger than the background).
B. Your work must be neat and accurate!!!!! Your picture(s) must be hand
drawn of something made from your element. It should POP!
C. Your fun fact should be interesting and relevant, not some boring detail.
D. Make rough draft on back. Then I will give you colored paper according to
your elements atomic number. This is the background for your atomic box.
E. IMPORTANT!!!!! Use color! not Pencil! Consider gluing on
information. Type if handwriting is bad. But must be nicely glued on. Your
element should STAND out, not fade into the background!
F. You will make a short presentation of your element & box in class (5 pts).
1. Use the pages I provided you from The Elements by Albert Swertka and these websites:

Research for Atomic Box and Class Presentation


Here you can put research that you can use for your atomic box and also for your class
presentation. You will have more information here than you will put on your box!
Some of it you will save for your presentation and some will just be for your
knowledge!
1. Basic Periodic Table Information
2. Make sure it is correct!
Element Name: Bismuth
Atomic Number: 83
Atomic Mass: 208.9804
Melting Point (in Celcius!): 271.4 C
Boiling Point (in Celcius!): 1564 C
Phase: Solid
Metal, semimetal, non metal? Bismuth is a metal
Usually Radioactive? Bismuth is usually radioactive
Group( which one? Alkali, Alkaline-Earth, Transition Metals, Boron Group, Carbon Group, Nitrogen Group, Oxygen Group, Halogen, Inert Gases,
Lanthanide Series, Actinide Series) All other metals/Poor metals (Pnictogen)
3. Discovered Who discovered this element, when, where and how it was
discovered.
Even though Bismuth was discovered by ancient people, often it was confused for
lead or tin. It was officially separated and recognized as a different element in 1753
by Claude Geoffroy the Younger.
4. Uses find as many things that you can that your element is used for: which one
will you list on your box and which ones will you make a drawing of for your
element?
Bismuth can be used for fire sprinkler systems, fire alarms and detection systems,
electrical fuses, synthetic fibers and rubbers, fishing sinkers, low toxicity bird shot,
and the production of shotguns. Alloys that contain bismuth can be used for a
yellow color in paints and cosmetics, and it can be used to treat diarrhea and gastric
ulcers.
My element square will have a fire alarm and sprinkler.

5. Fun Facts about your element


Most of the Bismuth in the United States is made by refining lead, copper, tin, silver,
and gold ores.
The word Bismuth originated from the German words for white mass (weisse masse).

This was later changed to Wisuth, then Bisemutum.


Only about 3 tonnes are mined every year.
6. Where your element is found (or mined)
Bismuth is usually mined in Bolivia, Peru, Japan, Mexico and Canada.
7. Major Properties of this Element (conductive, shiny, soft, brittle etc. )
Bismuth is whitish ~ pinkish, brittle, crystalline, most diamagnetic, and has low
thermal conductivity.
8. New Words and their definitions (at least 3-5 words)
Diamagnetic~ tending to become magnetized in a direction at 180 to the applied
magnetic field.
Insoluble~ incapable of being dissolved
Ulceration stomatitis~ painful erosions and ulcerations which relapse and remit on
the buccal mucosa
Carcinogen~ a substance capable of causing cancer in living tissue.
9. Bibliography Full bibliography entries for text sources. You must use at least 1
book source (can be the paper I gave you) and 2 internet sources.
