These are highly unstable and exist only under laboratory conditions. They were then able to extrapolate and identify elements of the greatest number of protons. By observing the ways in which elements combine, they were able to determine the number of protons in known elements and recognize where undiscovered elements should be. You could also discuss how scientists knew that there were elements missing. Of course, there is researching the addition of new symbols to the table. There are many possible extensions to this activity.
#SPELLING WORDS WITH ELEMENT SYMBOLS FREE#
When they are, feel free to include them. Four more elements were recognized in January 2016, and these have yet to be named or given symbols. You may also find one that includes two elements recognized in 2012, Flerovium (Fl) and Livermorium (Lv). They are Darmstadtium (Ds), atomic number 110, Roentgenium (Rg), atomic number 111, and Copernicum (Cn), atomic number 112. It is beneficial to be working with an up-to-date periodic table that includes the three elements recognized in 2011. After organizing the symbols that may be most useful, students can refer to their tables for help forming words. The final table is for recording two-consonant symbols that the students anticipate might come in handy, like Bromine (Br) but not Berkelium (Bk). In the second table, students record all of the symbols that include vowels, also very useful.
The first table includes room for all of the single-letter symbols. This activity walks students through finding element symbols useful for forming words and provides tables for organizing their findings. The word is floccinaucinihilipilification, and it can be spelled using the abbreviations of the elements. I have seen this word in use in one of Patrick O"Brian's Master and Commander novels.
The longest word you can make is a favorite "longest word" of mine. There are many opportunities for extending this activity, and it is a chance to engage students who enjoy word games in a science activity. This activity is a fun way to get your students to familiarize themselves with the elements of the Periodic Table and their symbols.
