Chemical Element and Manganese
I was assigned was the element Manganese. The symbol for manganese is Mn. It is number 25 on the periodic table. That means it has 25 protons and electrons even on mars or anywhere you go it will have the same protons and electrons. The atomic number would also be 25. It has 30 neutrons also in in the nucleus.
The melting point for Manganese would be 1519 K (1246°C or 2275°F). The boiling point would be 1519 K (1246°C or 2275°F) according to http://education.jlab.org/. It also could be 1245.0 °C (1518.15 K, 2273.0 °F) and 1962.0 °C (2235.15 K, 3563.6 °F) according to the website http://www.chemicalelements.com/. The density of Manganese would be 7.3 grams per cubic centimeter or 293 K. The atomic weight for Manganese is 54.938045.
At room temperature Manganese would be a solid. It would be classified as a metal. The color would be silver/grey. When armies were at war their helmet was made out of steel and 12% Manganese. In 1942 nickels were made out of 9% Manganese. Manganese can rust in water like iron.
Manganese is also an important part of our body. Manganese can help our bodies in many ways and ruin our bodies to. Scientist shows that without Manganese we wouldn’t be able to heal from surgery faster, helps from bone loss, and is an antioxidant that helps our cells. But Manganese can ruin our bodies to; if we inhale Manganese we could have a chance of getting Parkinson disease. It is not good or bad but I don’t suggest inhaling or eating Manganese. Manganese came from the Latin word magnes. The credited founder was Johan Gottlieb Gahn a Swedish scientist. It can mostly be found in iron. It helps iron not oxidize as easily and helps strengthen it. It is less toxic than nickel or copper.
Manganese is not actually magnetic even though it comes from the Latin word magnet. Without Manganese photosynthesis for plants would be difficult so we wouldn’t have any oxygen. When makeup didn’t exist a long time ago people would use Manganese as their eyeliner

    Nickel is one of the most important elements on the periodic table. It has plenty of history, as well as a huge importance to society. Its has unique chemical, physical, and geological properties. Nickel is used commercially in abundance, as it is used anywhere from simple art products such as ceramics to complex structures such as tubing for desalination plants. It is even used in the American five-cent coin, the "nickel".<br><br>Nickel was discovered by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, in Sweden, during the year 1751. Mr. Cronstedt discovered nickel in a mineral called niccolite. He originally planned to extract copper from this new mineral but got none at all. This is why nickel, at first, was called "false copper". Instead, Cronstedt got a silvery-white metal, which was eventually used for other things. The origin of the name "nickel" is a derivative from the German word "kupfernickel", meaning "Devil's Copper" or "St. Nicholas's Copper".<br><br>The chemical properties of nickel are as follows: Nickel has the atomic number of twenty-eight. The atomic symbol of nickel, "Ni". It has the atomic weight (mass) of 58.70, to be exact, 58.693. It occurs in five stable isotopes. Physically, nickel is a lustrous silvery-white and takes on a hard polish. It is a hard metal, malleable, ductile, and slightly ferromagnetic. Its melting point is at 2651 degrees F, and its boiling point is at 5275 degrees F. Also, nickel is a fairly good conductor of heat and electricity. Nickel belongs in the iron-cobalt group of metals and is chiefly valuable for the metallic alloys it forms. Biologically, nickel is a trace element for many species, including the human species. A human body contains 0.0000454 grams of nickel for every one pound.<br><br>Nickel is not found in too many places around the world. It is found mainly, and obtained commercially from pentlandite and pyrrhotite, in the Dudbury region of Ontario, Canada. The Dudbury region of Ontario produces roughly thirty percent of all the…

    In this experiment, the specific heat and the density of an unknown metal was determined in order to identify the unknown metal. The average specific heat of the unknown metal was 0.197˚C and was determined using a calorimeter. The density of the unknown metal was 6.57 g/mL and was determined using a cylinder and displacement. Using the specific heat value of the unknown metal and its density, it was determined that the unknown metal was Tin.…

    By artificially making Technetium it can be injected into a patient's bloodstream enabling gamma rays (x rays) to detect diseases or cancer. In World War 1 and 2 there were shortage of tungsten steels and depended on molybdenum which replaced many of the known superalloys. Since it’s an uncommon element mainly found in the earth's crust, they had an abundance of it. Molybdenum is also used for taking fingerprints which is used by RCMP in investigations. That's why when imprinting your fingerprint there is left behind a dark color partly because of the Molybdenum…

    Properties: Tin has a melting point of 231.97 degrees Celsius and a boiling point at 2270 degrees Celsius. If Tin’s cooling point is above 13.2 degrees Celsius, the color changes from white to gray, and if it is warming above 13.2 degrees Celsius, the color changes from gray to white. Tin is known for the “tin cry.” This happens when a bar of tin is bent and the crystals get broken.…

    Firstly, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who is the creator of the periodic table, predicted Technetium’s existence. He called it eka-manganese because there was a missing element between manganese and rhenium. However he could not discover it. After long research and big experiments, Technetium was discovered in 1937 by Carlo Perrier and Emilio Segre in Italy. (If they could not discover it, of course Mr. Machin would discover Technetium because he is the most awesome chemist in the world.) The name of the element Technetium comes from a Greek word “technetos” which means “artificial”. They gave that name to this element because it was the first element which produced artificially. It means, it is the first element in the periodic table which is manmade. They made it in the University of Palermo laboratory.…

    When you mix copper, silver, and nitrate together, you will end up with silver nitrate solution will turn blue (it has become copper nitrate). On the piece of copper, there would be a coating of solid silver. If a chemical reaction is going to be observed when chemicals are mixed, heated or any other means of altering the substance, then we will be able to predict the products formed. If it is observed that in the original versus the changed substance no new substances are formed, the change is reversible, no energy is taken or given off, the chemical properties didn’t change, then it can be concluded that a physical change has taken place.…

    Manganese Experiment

    • 1546 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Manganese is a first row transition metal that has a tremendous variety of oxidation states that appear in its compounds. The oxidation numbers range from Mn (III) in compounds like Mn(NO)3CO to Mn (VII) in KMnO4. Compounds of manganese range in oxidation number between theses two extremes. This experiment involves the preparation of a Mn (III) complex of actylacetone (also named 2,4-pentanedione) which is a useful starting material for the preparation of other Mn (III) compounds. Manganese (III) complexes are relatively stable and can be prepared directly by reactions of the hydrous manganese (III) oxide or by oxidation of the hydrous manganese (II) oxide with air or an oxidizing agent.(Pass,1997) In aqueous solution Mn(III) is readily hydrolyzed…

    Importance of Metals

    • 445 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A metal is defined as an opaque shiny element which possesses properties such as malleability and ductility. Malleable meaning that they can be hammered into shapes and ductile meaning they can be drawn into wires. They are also very strong and posses high tensile strength and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Metals are shiny, and also have high densities. Metals are a very important and significant part of chemistry. However, their importance is not just limited to chemistry; they are also used in our daily lives. We may not realize this but without metals; we would not be able to continue with our daily routines as metals play an important role. Metals are used in the making of household conveniences like ovens, dishes, cutlery etc. they are also used in transportation such as cars, buses, trucks, trains. Computers and electronic devices are also made up of metals. Electrical power production and distribution, even most of the construction is made out of steel which is an alloy; a mixture of metals such as iron and carbon. And it is because of the specific properties of metals, which allow them to be used in the making of such objects.…
