The Transition Metals Family Shiny but Tough Family

The Transition Metals Family Shiny, but Tough!

Family Members (we are a BIG family!!) • • • Yttrium Titanium Zirconium Vanadium Niobium Chromium Molybdenum Manganese Technetium Iron Ruthenium Rhodium Palladium Silver Cadmium Scandium Cobalt Nickel Copper Zinc Hafnium Actinium, Tantalum Rutherfordium Tungsten Dubnium Rhenium Seaborgium Osmium Bohrium Iridium Hassium Platinum Meitnerium Gold Darmstadtium Mercury Roentgenium Copernicium

Scandium • • • Electrons=21 Protons= 21 Neutrons= 24 Found in the Earth’s crust. Found on the moon.

Titanium • Protons and Electrons= 22 • Neutrons= 26 • Titanium is the 9 th most abundant element in the earth's crust. It is almost always found in igneous rocks.

If this was my project I would make a slide for each of my elements…but since this is an example I am going to show you the next part! I am giving you a few examples of how you can do the next part…

• I am known for my reddish Copper coloring • I love working in the kitchen (copper often makes pots and pans) • I get along very well with electricity (copper is a great conductor) • I take lots of yoga and am very malleable • Like the rest of my family, I am fairly cool and collected. It takes a lot of heat to get me to boil of melt!!

Mercury Physical • Silvery-White liquid metal • Nicknamed “quicksilver” Found in thermometers, batteries, barometers Chemical • The only metallic element that is a liquid at room temperature. • Very volatile in air • Highly poisonous
