Status update:

10/9- Headed to work at the nuclear power plant.

10/9- On my way home I got into an accident. I ran into a truck carrying an entire vat of acid and got drenched in the stuff. Good thing I am resistant to corrosion. 

10/10- I am so proud of my son for being the light of the camera team at his school. Literally!

11/5- I FINALLY got up the guts to ask out Selenium and she said yes! I am so happy!

11/5- When balancing chemical equations, i need to make sure that there are the same number of elements on one side as the other.


Overview:

I am a non toxic, ductile metal. I am similar to my brother from another mother, zirconium. I am corrosion resistant so bring on the acids!

Information: 

 

Relationship Status: 

In a relationship

Primary Relationship: 

With Selenium  

network: 

Transition metal 

valence electrons:

Two

reactivity: Highly active at high temperatures w/ boron,carbon,oxygen,silicon,and sulfur
state of matter:  solid and room temperature 
Location on Periodic Table: Group 4, period 6 

Birthday: 

1923 

Hometown: 

Copenhagen, discovered by Dirk Coster

Movies: 

Two and a Haf Men: The Movie and Haf Nelson 

Activities & Interests:

I like working at the nuclear reactor as control rods. I was the flash of the camera in college and its still a hobby of mine. When I get with my friends we can really withstand heat, and that makes us the perfect group for space shuttle engines. 

 


Places:

10/9- Copenhagen.

10/10- NASA Space Center

10/11- Microsoft Developing Plant.

11/5- I was at the mall with Silver, Iron, Cobalt and Copper. (HfCuFe+ 2CoAg) #hangingwithhalfofthetwins but then Silver and Cobalt went off to play with their twins. (HfCuFe+Co2Ag2)           HfCuFe+ 2CoAg ---> HfCuFe+Co2Ag2

 

 


Photos:     

Create 2 photo albums:

  • atom and bonding diagrams - these will be done in class and will take time
  • fun images - pictures that contain the element

 every photo must have a caption 

- tag other elements in the pictures

Hi Hafnium! Did you quit being the camera flash after college by choice, or did the technology improve so that your help was no longer needed?

hafnium said

Being a flash was just a hobby of mine in college while I was studying to become a control rod. My boy now does it for his high school. I am so proud!

What acid dissolves you the most?

hafnium said

at 9:30 pm on Nov 5, 2013

I dissolve the most when Hydrogen and Florine to form a hydrofluoric acid.

I don't get along well with a lot of non-metals.

Wow hafnium... you are so violent with boron, carbon, oxygen, silicon, and even sulfur! You guys really have issues with each other.

hafnium said

at 9:31 pm on Nov 5, 2013

I know. Those guys have been messing with me for as long as I can remember.

I am in a relationship because we are highly reactive with each other. We fill each others valence shell to form a covalent bond.

Synthesis reactions occur when a compounds or elements join together to join more complex ones.Decomposition is when compounds break down into less complex molecules. Single displacement reactions happen when one element replaces another in a chemical compound. Double displacement reactions occur when two or more elements are replaced in a compound. I can be a part of any of these reactions.
