Group+08

Group Information__** The special name for group 8 of the periodic table is transition metals. All of the elements in this group are metals. The elements in the group are iron, ruthenium, osmium, and hassium. The elements in this group are fairly expensive and pretty well-known.

Iron__** Iron makes up 5% of the earths crust. It is the fourth most appearing element on earth. It is second among metals behind aluminim. Atomic number: 6 Atomic mass: 55.85 Melting Point: 1535.1 °C Boiling Point: 2750 °C Isotopes: 24 Iron has been known since ancient times. The origin of the chemical symbol Fe is from the Latin word 'ferrum', meaning iron. Iron is the cheapest and most important of all metals. Iron is overwhelmingly the most commonly used metal, accounting for 95 percent of worldwide metal production. Iron is used to manufacture steel and other alloys important in construction and manufacturing. Conductivity: 0.112 x 106 S cm-1 State at room temperature: solid Density: 7.87 g/cm3 Solubility: no Ductility: yes Malleability: yes Reactivity with oxygen: mild, ⇒ Fe3O4 Flamabillity: none General Reactivity: none its a metal for steel and manufacturing An Iron meteorite: Meteorites such as this one are believed to have been our ancestors' first source of iron.

Looks like platinum but is rarer, harder, and more brittle. Melting/boiling point 2310°c. Hard and has a silver-gray color. Atomic number: 44 Atomic mass: 101.1 Melting Point: 2,330°c Boiling Point: 4,150°c Isotopes: 26 Ruthenium was discovered in 1827 in an impure form by Gottfried W. Osann. The element's name comes from the Latin word 'Ruthenia', meaning Russia after Osann's homeland. Small amounts of ruthenium are used to harden platinum and palladium and it can also be alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for severe wear resistance. Conductivity: 14.9 x 106 S m-1 State at room temperature: solid Density: 12.2 g/cm3 Solubility: yes Ductility: yes Malleability: yes Reactivity with oxygen: w/ht, ⇒ RuO4 Flamabillity: no General Reactivity: solid manufacturing Ruthenium costs $1,400 per 100g of this item.

Metallic chemical element. very hard and brittle. lustrous and blush white. Atomic number: 76 Atomic mass: 190.2 Melting Point: 3,030°c Boiling Point: 5,012°c Isotopes: 34 Osmium was discovered in 1803 by Smithson Tennant. Osmium is principally used alloyed with other metals in the platinum group to produce very hard alloys. Conductivity: 12.3 x 106 S m-1 State at room temperature: solid Density: 22.61 g/cm3 Solubility: yes Ductility: yes Malleability: yes Reactivity with oxygen: mild, ⇒ OsO4 Flamabillity: no General Reactivity: solid for manufacturing Osmium costs $7,700 per 100g of this item.

a artificially produced element. identified by west german researchers. similar properties of osmium. Atomic number: 108 Atomic mass: 277 Melting Point: unknown - only lasts for 10 seconds. Boiling Point: unknown - only lasts for 10 seconds. Isotopes: unknown - only lasts for 10 seconds. Hassium is named for Hessen, the state in Germany that is home to the institute at which it was discovered. Doesn't have any known uses because it only lasts for 10 seconds. Conductivity: 0.58w/cmK State at room temperature: solid Density: Unknown lasts for 10 seconds Solubility: Unknown lasts for 10seconds Ductility: Unknown lasts for 10 seconds Malleability: Unknown lasts for 10 seconds Reactivity with oxygen: Unknown lasts for 10 seconds Flamabillity: unknown lasts for 10 seconds General Reactivity: unknown lasts for 10 seconds unknown only lasts for 10 seconds Discovered in 1964
