why Big Fr and hungry F

1) Why Francium is the biggest element with the lowest IE and EN?
Francium is the biggest element with the lowest IE and EN because it has more energy levels and it has thesmallest amount of protons in its nucleus.

2) Why Helium is the smallest element with the highest IE?
Helium is the smallest element because its at the very top so it has fewer amount of energy shells. it has thehighest IE because it holds its electrons very close and its hard to remove them.

3) Why Noble Gases don't have EN values?
The noble gases dont have EN values because they have a full valence shell.

4) Why Fluorine has the highest EN?
Flourine has the highest EN because its part of the Halogens and it is theMOST non-metallic element.

2) what do i look like as a pure element?




3)in my nucleus i have sevent nine protons, and one hundred and eighteen nuetrons in my nucleus. the naturally occurring isotopes i have are AU and their abindance is 100%. the average mass is 196.96.

4) gold has about seventy nine electrons and contains eleven shells of electrons.

5) my atomic radius is 135 pm

6) gold is found in nuggets or in grains of rocks. it is soft, dense, shiny, most maleable and ductile element know. it is a bright yellow color with luster that is considered attractive and used for jewelery.

7) gold is found in the continental crust and oceanic crust. gold makes up over 50 billion tones of eaths mass and is estimated to be at a value of $2,000,000,000,000,000,000.

8) three compounds that gold forms are Gold Iodide(AuI), gold bromide(AuBr), gold chloride(AuCl)

9) gold was discovered by a man named Gen. John A. Sutter in 1848 in coloma. he discovered this element while trying to build a saw-mill.

10) the jobs that gold does in human society is make wonderful looking jewelry and and it is made into blocks of gold so that when the economy goes down and the value of money goes down people can invest in a block and it will never loose its value.
