Carbon Group


Group 14
The carbon group is a periodic table group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). In modern IUPAC notation, it is called Group 14. Carbon family elements contain atoms that have 4 electrons in their outer energy level. There is 3 metals, 2 metalloids, and one nonmetal

Alkali Metals

Group 1
Alkali Metals are group one of the periodic table. They are the most reactive metals on the table, there atoms can be given away quickly. Also Alkali Metals are mainly stored in oil, so they don't react with other elements. These metals have many purposes, for example, sodium is in that group, salt for food. Potassium is that group, we use potassium bromide in photography. All groups have different elements and are used for different things.

Group 17: Halogens M. Faries

Halogens
Group 17
Halogens...

The halogens are nonmetals and they are also very reactive. They are very reactive because their atoms only need to gain one electron to have a full outer level. Halogens usually combine with metals to collect their missing electron. The halogens group contains five elements those elements are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

  • Fluorine - Riley
  • Chlorine - Grace
  • Bromine - Bailey
  • Iodine - Shea
  • Astatine - Elizabeth
Group 16
Oxygen


       The group contains three non metals one metalloid and one metal. The group contains 6 electrons on the outer level, they are very reactive, every element but oxygen are solid at room temperature. Oxygen takes up almost 20 percent of air, oxygen is needed for substances to burn. Oxygen is also very important most living things, such as scuba divers going underwater, we need oxygen to breathe. Sulfur is another element in the Oxygen group. It is yellow solid  and can be found in nature. It is used to make sulfuric acid.

Halogens…
                 there is one liquid in Halogens, Halogens are nonmetals there are very reactive.
Because their outer level is complete by the one electron thats is gain from the element that it reactive with. There  is five elements

Alkaline Earth Metals

Group 2
Alkaline-Earth Metals…

Alkaline-Earth Metals are group 2 on the periodic table, and are made up of six metals, and are very reactive, but not as reactive as Alkali Metals, which are the the most reactive metals. Alkaline-Earth Metals have an appearance of the color silver, and have high densities, even higher than Alkaline Metals!!! Alkaline-Earth Metals also have a wide variety of beautiful colored flames, if you burn them, some examples are Magnesium turns bright white, Calcium turns red, and barium turns green.This is Magnesium flames, which has white flames.
Some more thermite burning


This is Magnesium flames, which has white flames.







Riley: Calcium
Janette: Barium
Elizabeth: Radium

Group 15
Nitrogen is a gas at room temperature and is about 80% of the air we breathe. There is only one element out of the nitrogen group that is really reactive and that is Phosphorus or P. The nitrogen group includes Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth, Ununpentium. All of the elements are mostly different with the metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Nitrogen and Phosphorus are nonmetals. Arsenic and Antimony are metalloids, and Bismuth and Ununpentium.

Group 18
The Noble Gases…
Noble gases are nonmetals that are not reactive and are in Group 18 on the periodic table.
Noble gases include Helium,  Neon,  Argon,  Krypton,  Xenon and Radon.
Lightbulbs filled with argon last longer than normal lightbulbs without argon in them.
Helium has a low density and makes blimps,  weather balloons and many other things float.
All of these elements do not naturally form chemical bonds with other atoms and are almost always found in their purest state. Xenon make lights in cars which can hurt people’s eyes but are not harmful in any way. Krypton is one of the rarest gases on Earth,  composing only 1 part per million in the atmosphere by volume.
Potassium: Potassium is an element with the symbol of K an atomic number of 19. It was discovered in 1807 by a scientist named Humphry Davy.

Group 2
Alkaline-Earth Metals
Alkaline earth metals are very reactive but less than alkali metals. They have atoms that have two outer electrons. They have the color of silver and have higher densities than alkali metals.Elements in group two have many uses. Such as magnesium, magnesium can be mixed with other metals to make low-density materials. Group two have six elements. The six elements are Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.

Group 14
The Carbon Group…

        Group number 14 consists of one nonmetal (carbon), two metalloids (silicon and germanium), and two metals (tin and lead). The elements in the Carbon Family have a melting point of 6332 degrees and a boiling point of 8721 degrees fahrenheit. Carbon also forms many compounds that are necessary for all living things on Earth. Some examples are, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The metalloids silicon and germanium are used to make computer chips and the metal tin is used to keep steel from rusting.

Transition Metals

Group 3-12
Transition metals are entirely made up of well.. Metals! Transition metals are almost all solid at room temperature accept mercury. Image: Iodine crystal
Transition metals are less reactive than alkaline-earth metals making it so some are safe to handle like iron and copper. Transition metals also have subgroups called Lanthanides and Actinides. Lanthanides are shiny and reactive while Actinides are radioactive/unstable.

Copper - Riley
Mercury - Bailey
Nickel - Grace
Uranium -Shea

Meitnerium - Alexis

Alkali Metals

Group 1
The Alkali Metals give an electron which makes them very reactive.
Alkali Metals are metals. They are soft, shiny, silver, their density is not high. Alkali Metals are dangerous. They are part of the periodic table. Oil stops Alkali metals from being reactive with things in the air such as: oxygen and water. Alkali Metals make compounds occur.

Cobalt Co

Cobalt
Cobalt is a chemical element with an atomic mass of 27. Cobalt is found in Earth’s crust only in its chemically combined form. Cobalt was also founded in 1735 by a scientist by the name of Georg Brandt. On the Periodic Table of Elements,  cobalt is in the 9th group and the 4th period. This element is also a silvery-blue metal that is also magnetic. If cobalt is alloyed with aluminum and nickel it is able to become a fairly strong magnet. Other alloys of cobalt are used for jet turbines and gas turbine generators. Also,  radioactive cobalt is used to treat cancer in some countries. Cobalt can also be used in some glass makings.
This is an example of silver ans silvery-blue cobalt.
                                     

Tin

Tin
Tin with the atomic symbol Sn and the atomic number 50 has been around for thousands of years. It was used since atleast 3000 bc to make bronze. Tin is the 49th most abundant metal in earth’s crust. Now tin is used for plating on cans and other objects, Tin cans arn’t 100% tin it’s stainless steel with tin plating. Tin is a metal that can last a while

Iron
Image result for ironIron is the cheapest element to buy 0.45 cents for a pound,Iron objects has been  found in Egypt dating 3500 B.C. and there has been objects found with 7.5% nickel, people have been using 5000 years.
Fruit Salad


Do you have a favorite food? Maybe it is a salad or a slice of pizza. Or Maybe you enjoy a bowl of cereal, or a warm bowl of chicken soup. These are just a few examples of mixtures that we eat everyday. But you may be wondering, what is a mixture? A mixture is two or more substances that are not chemically combined. As you can tell by the title, my favorite mixture is fruit salad. I love fruit salad, this is by far my favorite mixture. With fruit salad you can put what ever you want  in it. You can put strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapples, cantaloupe, raspberries, blackberries,and maybe even kiwi, etc... But lets say that you don’t want kiwi in your fruit salad. Because its a mixture and it is not chemically combined, you can take the kiwi out.

Enough about me, what’s your favorite mixture?

Favorite Mixture By: Kip Jolly

Favorite Mixture By: Kip Jolly
*note* i know you hate comic sans it's why I used it lol

My favorite mixture is pancakes (for obvious reasons) and let’s look at some of the ingredients and mixtures in the mixture itself! (inception music plays).
We begin our journey (in a pancake) with buttermilk… seriously? This is the best we could come up with? Whatever, wonder what this could be (obvious sarcasm).
Well anyway butter milk was originally, buttermilk meant the liquid left over from churning butter from fermented cream. For traditional purposes, before the cream could be removed from each others presence (guess they didn’t like each other), the milk was left to lay/sit for some time to allow the delicious cream and tasty milk to separate. Now let’s move on to baking soda, it's 100 percent sodium bicarbonate, which can be used as a leavening agent in baked goods. When mixed with an acid, baking soda reacts, making bubbles and giving off carbon dioxide gas, which causes dough to rise (and global warming, just saying). Next letÅ›  talk about milk chocolate (because i eat milk chocolate chip pancakes #delicious). Well anyway milk chocolate is a sweet delicious chocolate that also contains milk powder or more simply condensed milk. (Announcer) “Well that’s all folks!” (audience) ‘Finally!” (announcer) “Did you learn anything?” (audience) “Yes” (announcer) “Did you have fun?” (audience) “No!” (announcer) “Oh… Then get out!” (audience) “Great! Nobody liked it anyway!”.


Milk chocolate

My favorite mixture.

My favorite mixture is making 2 little sized pancakes (circle shaped) and putting bacon, cheese in the middle making what i call a breakfast sandwich 2.0. Also you can use circle shaped sausages instead of bacon, and you can use eggs instead of cheese. Or you can do both. This is a mixture because your putting different kinds of foods together to make something new in a non chemical way. I like this mixture because its different kinds of breakfast foods and putting them together to make a awesome breakfast sandwich, why wont you like it.
         
         

My Favorite Mixture

Fruit Salad

What is my favorite mixture? It is fruit salad. Before I tell you why that is my favorite mixture, I should probably tell you what a mixture is. A mixture is a combination of substances that are not chemically combined. Why do I love fruit salad? I love fruit salad because you can put whatever kind of fruit you want in it. For example, watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, grapes, oranges, raspberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, etc.. You can put lettuce in there as well. My favorite fruit to put in fruit salad are berries. For example, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, etc. That is my favorite kind of mixture, what’s yours?


My Favorite mixture

My favorite mixture has to be Nachos!
They are a mixture of tortilla chips, cheese, beans, sauce, and ground beef.
Nachos are delicious and very good for a small meal or a large meal.
Nachos are not combined chemically so they're a mixture.
If you have not tried nachos you really should!

What I learned!

What I Learned!
I learned from this chapter about the elements and what their short form is for example sodium is Na. When you write those the first letter is always capital.
Another thing I learned about is compounds, compound is two or more substances that are chemically combined. I remember that by chemically combined compound they all start with a “c”. An example of a compound is water.
The last thing I learned about is a mixture, a mixture is two or more substances combined together physically NOT chemically. When you have a mixture you should be able to take those things apart. For example if you have chex mix you can take apart those and separate them therefore they are a mixture.
