Create an element name for your newly discovered element. You can name it after yourself or the place you discovered it or a special property it has. For example, Prof. Dickson named his element Dixonium! You will also need a unique two letter element symbol for it. Make sure the symbol has not been used for another element on the periodic table. Dixonium has the symbol Dx.
Your initial post should include the following items:
1Assigned Periodic Table Group #
2Element Name
3Element Symbol (two letters only)
4Is it a metal or a non-metal?
5How many valence electrons is it expected to have considering what Group it is in?
6Upload a picture of the Lewis Dot Symbol.
7When the element forms an ion, what will the ion name be? Remember, some elements use the same name for the ion while others have an ide ending.
8When forming an ion, will your element gain or lose electrons?
9What charge will your element have as an ion? Be sure to include a sign (+ or -).
