below.

1. Unknown words.

Los lantánidos son un grupo de elementos que forman parte del periodo 6 de la tabla
periódica. ... Estos elementos son llamados tierras raras debido a que se encuentran en
forma de óxidos, y también, junto con los actínidos, elementos de transición interna. Su
nombre proviene del elemento lantano.

Elements make up everything in the world. Elements are the basic substances
that we cannot divide into simpler substances. We group elements by the things
they have in common – what they look like, how they react with other
substances, if they conduct electricity, etc. We group elements into nine official
groups. The element, “Hydrogen” is in a group by itself. It is different from all the
other elements. Hydrogen is a basic substance. 90% of all atoms in the
universe are hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms are the lightest atoms.
Hydrogen got its name from the scientist Lavoisier. Lavoisier noticed that
hydrogen atoms are always present in water. The word root “Hydro” means
water. Therefore, it was intuitive to represent hydrogen with the letter H. The
second group is the alkaline-earth metals. You can find these elements in the
earth’s crust. They react with water. This group of elements contains elements
such as Calcium. Calcium is a basic substance found in substances like milk
and chalk. It is a member of the second group of elements. Some other
members of the second group are beryllium and magnesium. The third group is
the alkali metals. These elements react very strongly with water. They might
even explode if they touch water. This group of elements contains elements
such as Sodium. Sodium is an element found in table salt. Scientists represent
sodium with the letters Na. Some other members of the third group are lithium
and potassium. The fourth group of elements includes metals. It is the largest
group of elements. It includes iron, silver, gold, nickel, platinum and titanium.
Elements in this group conduct electricity. They are hard and shiny. Members of
this group are called the transition metals. The fifth group of elements is the
actinides. The elements in this group are radioactive metals. Most of the
members of this group are synthetic elements. They are non-natural elements.
They are made in special labs. Some members of this group are uranium and
plutonium. The sixth group of elements is the lanthanides. Some people call this
group the rare–earth elements. Some people call them the inner–transition
elements. These metals are silver or silvery–white. They conduct electricity very
well. They tarnish when they come into contact with air. The seventh group
consists of the nonmetals. Carbon is a member of this group. Every living thing
depends on carbon. Oxygen is also a member of this group. We take in oxygen
and exhale carbon dioxide (which is a combination of carbon and oxygen) when
we breathe. The eighth group consists of the inert gases. They are called inert

gases because they do not react easily with other substances. Most of these
gases are present in lighting. When a current of electricity goes through neon, it
glows red. Some other members of this group are argon and xenon. This group
is sometimes called Group Zero or Group 0. The ninth group consists of the
poor metals. These metals are different from the metals in the fourth group
because these metals are soft. These metals melt easily. They also mix well
with other metals to form alloys. Both lead and aluminum are poor metals. The
last group consists of the semi–metals. The members of this group are like
metals in some ways. They are also like non–metals in some ways. Some
semi–metals are arsenic and bismuth. Depending on which other substances
touch them, they can be conductors of electricity or they can insulate, or protect,
substances from electricity. Some scientists call the semi–metals “double
metals” because of their structure.

The elements make up everything in the world. The elements were the basic
substances that we cannot divide into simpler substances. We group the
elements by the things they had in common: what they were like, how they
reacted with other substances, whether they conducted electricity, etc. We
group the elements into nine official groups. The element "hydrogen" was in a
group by itself. It was different from all the other items. Hydrogen was a basic
substance. 90% of all the atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen
atoms were the lightest atoms. Hydrogen got its name from the scientist
Lavoisier. Lavoisier pointed out that hydrogen atoms were always present in
water. The root of the word "Hydro" means water. Therefore, it was intuitive to
represent hydrogen with the letter H. The second group was the alkaline earth
metals. You could found out these elements in the earth's crust. They reacted
with water. This group of elements contained elements such as calcium.
Calcium is a basic substance found in substances like milk and chalk. He was a
member of the second group of elements. Some other members of the second
group were beryllium and magnesium. The third group were the alkali metals.
These elements reacted very strongly with the water. They could even explode
if they touch the water. This group of elements contained elements such as
sodium. Sodium was an element found in table salt. Scientists represented
sodium with the letters Na. Some other members of the third group were lithium
and potassium. The fourth group of elements included metals. It was the largest
group of elements. Included iron, silver, gold, nickel, platinum, and titanium.
Elements in this group conducted electricity. They were tough and shiny. The
members of this group were called transition metals. The fifth group of elements
were actinides. The elements in this group were radioactive metals. Most of the
members of this group were synthetic elements. They were unnatural elements.
They were manufactured in special laboratories. Some members of this group
were uranium and plutonium. The sixth group of elements were the lanthanides.
Some people called this group the rare earth elements. Some people called
them internal transition elements. These metals were silvery or silvery white.
They conducted electricity very well. They fog up when they come into contact
with air. The seventh group was made up of non-metals. Carbon was a member
of this group. Every living thing depends on carbon. Oxygen was also a member

of this group. We were taking in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide (which
was a combination of carbon and oxygen) when we breathe. The eighth group
was made up of inert gases. They were called inert gases because they do not
reacted easily with other substances. Most of these gases were present in
lighting. When a stream of electricity passes through neon, it glows red. Some
other members of this group were argon and xenon. This group is sometimes
called Group Zero or Group 0. The ninth group consisted of the poor metals.
These metals were different from the metals in the fourth group because they
were soft. These metals melted easily. They also mix well with other metals to
form alloys. Both lead and aluminum were poor metals. The last group was
formed by the semimetals. The members of this group were like metals in some
respects. They were also like non-metals in some respects. Some semimetals
were arsenic and bismuth. Depending on what other substances touch them,
they can be conductors of electricity or can isolate or protect substances from
electricity. Some scientists called semimetals "double metals" because of their
structure.

4. Write down 10 lines using past simple, past continuous about what you did yesterday in the
laboratory.

Yesterday was full of positive things, I was in the laboratory doing my practices, when
the instructor arrived and asked me: What happened, Andrés? While measuring a
sample on the analytical balance, I responded: the ash determination, instructor. Then I
continued with my practiced, when I dropped the beaker with the Sample, spilt all over
the floor, luckily nothing serious happened.
Then, when everything was clean, I continued weighing the sample. While my partner
finished your part, I was titling the sample remaining. I was finally the practice, when
an unexpected visitor arrived, she was a friend very special, he was going to help me
with the determination of ashed. As she knew about the subject, everything was easier
and we finish quickly without errors.
