Electron Configuration- Electron Configuration is a method that we use to better identify the elements of the periodic table. It uses orbitals labeled S,P,D, and F to locate different elements on the periodic table. Each element has its own electron configuration. Neils Bohr was the first to concieve of this method in 1923 but could not complete his theory. Later Pauli realized the problem, and finished Bohrs work.
Spectroscopy- Spectoscopy is another method for identifying the elements of the periodic table. There are many different types of spectroscopy, the type that we used in class was called infared spectroscopy. It uses a spectrum to identify the exact distance of the colors shown through the defracting gradient. This is also known as the elements molecular fingerprint because no two elements have the same spectrum.
Rutherfordium- This is a somewhat curious element because it was founded by two different groups of scientists using two different methods. In 1969 a man by the name of Albert Ghiorso, a New Zealand chemisist, first reported the production of Rutherfordium. In 1969, a team of scientists set out to confirm Ghiorso's discovery at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California. They didnt have the exact tools need to confirm Ghiorso's discovery so they used a slightly different method and got the same results.
Goog- have you done your extra credit? Remember that I am more interested in hearing what you have to say than in any website online!
