Why do I where a crown? Because I'm a Noble Gas! |
Status update: |
10/9 - Went to a party last night and was the heavist one there.... maybe I should start losing weight! 10/10 - Going through River Trail students' lungs... some people can really breathe! 10/11 - Had some free time and decided to go tubing down the Chattahoochee River... having a great time! 10/13 -The Law of Conservation of matter says that matter can never be created of destroyed, and that it only changes its shape and form. Although I can't react with any other element, if I could, the other element and I wouldn't be creating any new matter, but just changing the form of it. |
Overview: |
Hi, fellow elements! My name is Radon and I'm a noble gass with 86 protons, 86 electrons, and 136 neutrons. Some of my characteristics are I'm colorless, odorless, and radioactive. I'm formed from the decaing of radium in the Earth's crust. An interesting fact about me is that I'm used to predict earthquakes. |

Activities & Interests: |
I love doing many activities in my free time! I don't really have any major biological role in our environment. Instead, I enjoy being on the earth's crust, and sometimes moving up into our atmosphere. Also, I love exposing myself to people to give them some kinds of lung cancer. I also like to help scientists to predict earthquakes. Another hobby I enjoy doing is learning about elements and how they react with each other. What I have learned is that there are four types of reactions, synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. Although it is highly unlikely for me to take place in any of these, I still enjoy learning about them, and I hope one day I can be a part of one too! |
