Just started liquidizing in the room..Someone turn up the AC!

Upset because I'm a poor conductor of heat. Why can't I conduct heat well like other metals? :(

Someone accidentally spilled me into a lake. I don't want to pollute all these creatures!

 Getting sick of balancing all these chemical equations. Can't these equations balance themselves? I'm not a balance scale! My friend Gold might be, though.

I am single because I hardly react with any elements. I react with Oxygen, but they're a stud to all the other elements. Itt'l be hard to find another element to be in a relationship with. 

Overview:

I am a transition metal and I'm silver-colored. I just can't keep myself solid at room temperature. My personal trainer says my atomic mass is 200.59. Speaking of which, motivation isn't something I'm good at, so I don't feel like reacting with many acids.

Activities & Interests:

I'm very dangerous (everyone says it's just a rebellious phase) for the body because when I'm absorbed or inhaled,  I harm the body's processes, like nervous functions. I'm very clingy, and the body can't get rid of me from the bones. This causes death. I react with Oxygen to form Mercury (II) Oxide. I don't like the name, because I want to be a unique element. Having an element with a similar name doesn't make me feel special. I am liquid at room temperature because I only get solid when the temperature is cold enough for me. Everyone says that makes me high priority. The types of reactions are combustion, synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and acid-base. When oxygen and another compound combine to form water & carbon dioxide, it is combustion. When two or more compounds that are simple combine to form a complicated one, it is a synthesis reaction. Decomposition is the opposite of a synthesis reaction. A single displacement two elements trade places in a compound, and double displacement is where two different molecules switch places and form different compounds. An acid-base reaction is a double base reaction that happens when an acid and a base react with each other. I am involved in combustion,synthesis, and decomposition.

A neon lamp..It's super cool in here. If only I were able to see myself!

A thermometer! :) So glad that people are using me to measure temperature :) 

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

Copper, Zinc, Nickel and I all hanging out in someone's kitchen.  

Argon and I love to provide light for places such as libraries and halls. 

Look at my skin! I'm basically glowing!  

Chillin' in this bone with Silicon, Calcium, Potassium, and Phosphorus. Accidentally poisoned the guy that has this bone. Oops!

Someone careless just dropped me! :(
