Why Big Fr and Hungry Fr

1. Fr is the biggest atom because it is on the lower left of the Periodic Table. The atom size gets bigger as you go down the table and goes smaller as you go from left to right. It also has 7 valence shells. Fr has the lowest IE because it is larger, using little energy to remove an electron. This element has the lowest EN because, being the largest atom, it's nucleus has a weaker pull as valence electrons get further. Its pull, compared to Lithium for example, is much weaker because Lithium is a smaller atom with a greater pull.

2.Helium is the smallest atom because it is on the top right of the Periodic Table. As, stated before the atom size gets bigger as you go down the table and goes smaller as you go from left to right. Helium also has one shell. This element has the highest IE because it requires more energy to remove the valence electron. The valence electron in a helium atom is closer to the nucleus, meaning the pull is stronger and harder to get rid of.

3.Noble gasses do not EN values because they do not need to gain or lose atoms. They already have a full outer shell (8 valence electrons).

4. Florine has the highest EN because, excluding the noble gasses, it is on the top right of the Periodic Table, being the smallest atom. The smallest atom has the highest EN, being the most reactive nonmetal. As the table goes from the bottom left to the top right of the table, the EN increases.

LITHIUM is Element #3

My element name is Lithium in English, Litio in Spanish, and Lithium in French and British.

The most common isotope is Li-7. There are 3 protons and 4 neutrons in my nucleus. The naturally occurring isotopes are Li-6 and Li-7. Both of their half lives are stable. Li-6's natural abundance percentage is 7.59%. Li-7's natural abundance percentage is 92.41%. Lithium's average atomic mass is 6.51557965.

A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons in it. I have 2 shells of electrons, with 1 in the outer layer and 2 in the inner layer.

Lithium's atomic radius in picometers is 167 pm. 

Lithium is the first alkali metal in the periodic table. It is the least dense of all metals. Lithium is very light compared to other elements. 

The abundance of lithium in my body is 0.0013075200000000002 grams. Earth's abundance of lithium is 17000 ppb. The universe's abundance of lithium is 6 ppb. 

Two compounds lithium forms are spodumene (LiAlSi2O6) and petalite (LiAlSi4O10).

A Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson (or Arfvedson; 1792-1841) discovered Lithium. Arfwedson found the new element in a mineral that had first been identified about twenty years earlier by Brazilian scientist Jozée Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva (1763-1838). Lithium was discovered in petalite when Arfvedson visited Sweden. The scientists try to isolate the element.
Lithium is used in the manufacture of special high strength glasses and ceramics. It is also used to make battery anode material. Sometimes, lithium-based compounds are used as drugs to treat manic-depressive disorders. Lithium can make high performance alloys for aircraft.

Lithium metal can be easily cut with a knife. The result is a shiny silvery surface but this soon tarnishes because of reaction with oxygen and moisture from the air. When lithium is burned in air, it makes a white lithium oxide, Li2O. Some lithium peroxide, Li2O2, also white, is also produced.

My Blog

Welcome to my blog. I am Tiffany. I am looking forward for many comments and reviews on my blogs.

I swim a lot. Last year i swam for the Mills swim team. I am going to come back for another season this spring. I also love eating. I have many favorite foods such as cereal. I believe that most cereal is tasty.

I dream to beat my times for swimming. Later in the future, I dream to go to college.

I hope for reviews and to meet new people.
