Introduction We are going to investigate human

ingenuity and the connection between the reactivity of metals and when they were discovered and the connection between them

MagnesiumSymbol:Mg

Atomic number:12

Atomic mass:24.305 Atomic molecules per unit

Melting point:650.0 °C (923.15 K, 1202.0 °F)

Boil point:1107.0 °C (1380.15 K, 2024.6 °F)

Number of protons/electrons:12

Atomic structure

Number of Energy Levels: 3First Energy Level: 2 Second Energy Level: 8 Third Energy Level: 2.

Magnesium was discovered in the year 1808, the scientist that discovered this metal was Humphrey Davy. The name magnesium originated form a city called magnesia.

Potassium Name: Potassium

Symbol: K

Atomic Number: 19

Atomic Mass: 39.0983 amu

Melting Point: 63.65 c

Boiling Point: 774.0 c

Number of Protons/Electrons: 20

Number of Neutrons: 20

Classification: Alkali Metal – group 1 of the periodic table and are reactive metals due to 1 electron in their outer shell. The alkali metals are malleable, ductile and are good

conductors of heat and electricity.

The early scientists

The early chemists had no idea of Atomic structure or of protons or electrons there was no such thing as a proton number.

Page 7: Science project

How did they find a relationship in the early days.

The early chemists tried to find patterns in the elements.

They had two ways.

These were to look at their physical and chemical properties.

Or their relative mass.

Page 8: Science project

The relationship between the elements the early days.

The elements and the hierachy of the elements for the reactivity series was determined by doing experiments to see how strongly metal reacts.

The three standard reactions used by the early 19th century chemists were to see how the elements reacted with

Air

Water

Dilute acid

Newlands OctavesA scientist in 1863 called Newlands noticed that every eighth element had similar properties. These were called Newlands Octaves.

The pattern broke down on the third row with transition metals such as Fe and Cu and Zn not fitting in.

Latter in the 20th century scientists realized why, the arrangement of electrons and protons made elements behave differently.

Page 10: Science project

THE 20TH CENTURYIt was not until the 20th century after protons and electrons were discovered that it was realized the elements should be arranged in order of proton number.

And that elements react due to the number of electrons that are in its out shields.

Page 11: Science project

THE POWER OF ELECTRONS

Potassium and Calcium are linked together because they are in group 1 and have the same number of electrons in their outermost electron shells which is one electron.

Magnesium although in group 2 shares a common relationship between Potassium and Calcium is that it is reactive because it has only two electrons but one outer shell and is fairly reactive like the other two.

Conclusion I learned from this project that all metals

are linked together in some way by the periodic table. I found out that they are connected by the time that they were discovered and by the same scientist.
