After viewing the periodic table of endangered elements, select one element that is highlighted as either “limited availability – future risk to supply,” “rising threat from increased use,” or “serious threat in the next 100 years.”
Conduct some research on the element using The Periodic Table’s Endangered Elements (included in the attachment), and compose a main post responding to the questions below.
1)What is the name and atomic number of the element you selected?
2)What are some of the practical applications and properties of the element? What is it used for?
3) Why is the element you selected considered endangered?
4) Despite the referenced periodic table being called the “periodic table of endangered elements,” why are elements actually not in danger of becoming extinct? Use the law of conservation of matter in your explanation.
