You swallowed me? I guess now you'll get an atomic ache. 

Status update:

10/9 So tired, been blowing up too much.

10/11 I'm radioactive radioactive

10/11 Iodine tried to get with me today, and I was like me no want to esplode

Overview:

I am the heaviest element that has been discovered

I am shiny, ductile, and malleable

 

Information: 

  

Relationship Status: 

 reading bond 

Primary Relationship: 

  

I am a very heavy metal

  

I have 2 valence electrons

 
 I am very reactive with iodine, please keep me away from her.
  
I become a solid metal at room temperature  
Im one of the Actinides so I'm found at the very last row on the Periodic Table.  

I was born in 1789

  

I'm from the mineral, pitchblende, and Marin Kaplroth is my daddy

  

The movie Uranium Conspiracy is named after me

  

Activities & Interests:

I go into weapons and explode because apparentely I have a lot concentrated energy

I help people find where to go because I am used in compasses.

I am also used for inertial guidance devices. No big deal.

 

Places:

If you want to see me you can find me in in soil, rocks, and water

But I'm usually  in phosphate rocks, monozite sands, or lignite. 

I am in the minerals of pitchblende, carnotite, uranophane, autunite, and tobernite 

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

  Advocates of thorium to power nuclear plants say that the element is safer than uranium, and that its waste cannot -- like the plutonium waste of uranium fission -- be re-formulated for nuclear weapons. Thorium plants, they say, also wouldn't need containment domes like those pictured here because the reactors can't "melt down" and release radiation. (iStock)

  

   For perfect nano-crystals just add water

 

 

Thorium and I takin a trip to the ozone layer.

Chillin with Plutonium and Radium. We da Bomb!

Gettin with Cerium for a partaay.

Neodymium and I are the new stars!!

Doin some sciencey math stuff. I feel so smart

 

 

Groups:

I am part of the Actinides
