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
