Show a picture of its use if you cannot draw how the element occurs in nature.) * Properties. For instance: * The atomic mass * The atomic number * Who discovered the element * When it was discovered * How it was named * What its natural state is * Its melting point * Its boiling point * The group it belongs to in the periodic table (noble gas, metal, and so forth) * Some of its characteristics, such as: * colour, odour, whether it’s dangerous—explosive, radioactive, or noxious * Any interesting facts about the element * Describe the uses of your element * The number of electrons are in each shell around the nucleus * An electron shell diagram * Future uses * Bibliography
