My element that I was an assigned was Cadmium. The atomic number of cadmium is 48. This means it have a positive charge or protons in the nucleus of an atom of a given element, and therefore also the number of electrons normally surrounding the nucleus. The boiling point of Cadmium is 765.0 °C. And the melting point of Cadmium is 320.9 °C. The Atomic mass of my element is 112. Cadmium is classified as a "Transition Metal" which are located in Groups 3 - 12 of the Periodic Table. An Element classified as a Transition Metals is ductile, malleable, and able to conduct electricity and heat.Cadmium was discovered in Germany by Fredrich Stromeyer in 1817. Cadmium soft, bluish-white metallic element occurring primarily in zinc, copper, and lead ores, that is easily cut with a knife and is used in low-friction, fatigue-resistant alloys, solders, dental amalgams, nickel-cadmium storage batteries, nuclear reactor shields, and in rustproof electroplating. The most common uses of Cadmium are in Batteries.
