Introduction
Picture from en.wikipedia.org

The Periodic Table is a table that shows
different elements. The elements have
different atomic numbers and atomic
masses, which are also shown on the
periodic table of elements. A picture of
The Periodic Table of Elements is on
the next page.Elements are very small
things that cant be seen from a humans
eye vision and a substance that cant
have another substance or type inside it.
In the inside of an element, there are
atoms.
Atoms are extremely small particles.
They contain protons, neutrons and
electrons, making up all things on the
earth.Protons have a positive charge.
Electrons have a negative charge. So
when one electron is taken away, one
negative charge is lost, so the atom
becomes positively charged. If one
proton is taken away, it becomes
negative (negative and positive sides of
a metal are connected to each
other).Sometimes they repel from the
nucleus (the middle of the atom) and
sometimes they stick to it.
I chose this atom to write about
because I see aluminum everyday so I
thought that I should write about
aluminum. Aluminum is also well
known, so research for it wont be too
hard.
