Status update: at least 3 updates /

6/18/12:Just made a stained glass project at school (literally).

7/29/12:Cleaning glassware with hydrogen and oxygen.

8/46/12: At the gym, burning off body fat and gaining some muscle!


Overview: 3-5 sentences about the elements. (physical and chemical properties)

I have a melting point of 1907°C and boiling point of 2672°C. My wardrobe consists of lustrous steel-gray color which takes a high polish. I am hard and resistant to corrosion. I have a high melting point, stable crystalline structure, and moderate thermal expansion. All of my compounds are colored and are toxic.

Activities & Interests: 

2-3 sentences about the elements. (physical and chemical properties)  

Contributes in making and hardens steel. Gives emeralds green color and rubies their red color. Also helps regulate the amount of sugar in blood, which helps people with diabetes. Increases muscle mass and good cholesterol and decreases body fat and bad choleterol.

 


Places: 

"check in" with at least three places the element can be found  

7/17/12: At the gym, helping regulate body fat and pumping up some muscles.

9/5/12: Having a wheel good time at the auto-shop!

11/1/12: At the doctors office making sure my technique for cholesterol balance is working. 


Photo

Create a photo album:  

  • fun images - pictures that contain the element

 - every photo must have a caption

- tag other elements in the pictures 

   

       Credits towards chromium (me) for "polishing" the hubcap.

 

          Iron+me=stainless steel :)  Iron was tagged in this photo.

     

     Self portrait.

 

        I have the power to contol emeralds' color! Muahaha!

 

 

My Friends and I around the World

 

Lead and I got banned from school buses because of the harm we caused. Chromium and lead were tagged in this photo.

I love this picture!! Chromium, Iodine, and oxygen were tagged in this photo.

 

 See the "T" shape? Zinc and I are together. Chromium and zinc were tagged in this photo.

 

 I can make anything sparkle and shine! (That sounds like a slogan for a dentist)

 

 I also give rubies their luxurious red color.

 I was born in a simiar charcoal oven as this one. It was so cozy!

 Transition metals for the win!!!

I feel like a part of the family.

What is your relationship to emeralds?

Chromium said

at 6:39 pm on Oct 28, 2012

Emeralds are a crystal of beryl that also contains chromium as an impurity. The presence of the chromium impurity makes the colorless beryl green. This is because the geometry of the emeralds atoms is a little different, as the host molecules interact with the chromium more weakly and the energy differences between the energy levels are reduced, producing green.
