  1. F-Block (No Group) By: Logan LeBlond and Bryan Rogers Lanthanides and Actinides

  2. Uranium • Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 7s2 4f4 • State of Matter: Solid • Classification: Metal • Physical Properties: • Texture: Hard Element • Melting Point: 2,070 degrees F • Excellent conductor of heat/electricity • Very radioactive • Chemical Properties • Very Reactive • reacts w/almost all non-metallic elements • Not found in the environment in its elemental form, due to reactivity • Uses: • Development of nuclear energy • Depleted uranium is used to protect tanks • Missiles and bullets

  3. Lanthanum • Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f1 • State of Matter: Solid • Classification: Metal • Physical Properties: • Hard Element • Melting Point: 1,688 degrees F • Conductor of heat/electricity • Radioactive • Chemical Properties: • Very reactive • Oxidizes rapidly when exposed to fresh air • Also reacts with Carbon, Nitrogen, Boron, Phosphorus • Uses: • Component of mish metal, which is used to make flints

  4. Plutonium • Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 7s2 5f6 • State of Matter: Solid • Classification: Metal • Physical Properties: • Melting Point: 1182 degrees F • Texture: Hard • A conductor of heat and electricity • A very radioactive element • Chemical Properties: • A very reactive element • It is reactive with carbon, nitrogen, all the halogens, and sulfur • Uses: • It was used with the equipment on one the Apollo Lunar missions • Nuclear bombs

  5. Californium • Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f6 • State of Matter: Solid • Classification: Metal • Physical Properties: • Melting Point: 1652 degrees F • Texture: Hard • A conductor of heat and electricity • Chemical Properties: • Very radioactive • It is reactive with the Halogens • Uses: • It is used to determine if a substance is gold

  6. Samarium • Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f6 • State of Matter: Solid • Classification: Metal • Physical Properties: • Moderately hard • Melting point is 1,962 degrees F • Conductor of Heat and Electricity • Chemical Properties: • Very Radioactive • Fairly reactive • Reacts with cold water and the halogens • Uses: • It is used in headphones

  7. Interesting Facts • Californium is named after the University of California-Berkeley • Uranium was used in the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki • Samarium is used in today’s headphones • Plutonium is also used in deadly bombs • When mixed with other elements, Lanthanum is used in flint for lighters
