It’s All Elemental Elements are all around us … can you recognize them when you see them?
What is an element? • An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down by chemical means into other substances. • A compound contains two or more elements . • Everything is made up of elements.
Copper –Cu • Used in: • wiring • heat sinks • Coins • brass and bronze alloys (metal mixtures).
But is it really Copper? • Lincoln Memorial penny • dated before 1982 - made of 95% copper. • dated after 1983 - made of 97.5% zinc and plated with a thin copper coating.
Nickel –Ni • classified as an element in 1751. • The Nickel (five-cent) coin – made of 75% copper. • Only 25% is nickel, It actually has more copper than the penny!
Helium –He • Colorless gas • glows pale peach when an electric current runs through it • Used to make balloons float
Aluminum –Al • Malleable • shaped into interesting,beautifuland usefulobjects, like soda cans.
Carbon – C • A diamond, but heat it too much and it burns up into carbon dioxide gas. • Graphite used in pencils • Coal
Calcium –Ca • most people think of chalk and bones • Actually…a silvery metal that reacts with water to give off hydrogen gas
Iron –Fe • Meteorite (from ancient Mexico - made mostly of iron. • Locals created tools from • first samples made their way out to the world in the 1700s
Iodine –I • gives off violet vapor when heated • used as disinfectants for cuts and wounds before antiseptic agents were found.
Lead –Pb • Usually seen as Lead pipes
Elements Are All Around Us • All of these elements are found within the Earth, atmosphere, oceans and even in your all living things.
Silicon –Si • computer chips
Nitrogen –N • 78% of the atmosphere
Hydrogen –H • 75% universe is hydrogen, a colorless gas. • The Sun is composed of Hydrogen & Helium
Chlorine –Cl • purifies drinking water and swimming pools. • Combined with sodium, makes table salt
Phosphorous –P • Used in matches
Sulfur –S • Has a very distinguishable smell
Sodium –Na • exposed to water -explode in flaming balls of molten sodium. • Mix with Chlorine -creates table salt.
It’s Oxygen –O • Colorless gas • Blue liquid
