Finding Charcoal on the Periodic Table

Video Transcript

We're going to get the last few items on here. Next thing I have is charcoal, charcoal sketching chalks and this is made out of carbon. So we're going to go ahead, we're going to connect it up and we're going to go ahead and show that charcoal is made out of carbon. Next thing we're going to do is we're going to show another combination here. We've got a steel nail and that is a combination of iron and it's also a combination of carbon so let's go ahead and let's put our steel nail down. Let's put two strings attached to it and iron on the periodic table, the symbol for that is a capital "F" lower case "e" and that has an atomic number of twenty six. So if you look on the periodic table you can see that iron is right here, has an atomic number of twenty six and if you turn around and you look at carbon again all things, carbon is very common and you can show that the steel nail is a combination thereof. Here's something really simple that you see in your everyday life and you wish you had lots of them are pennies, copper pennies. Show everybody that copper has an atomic number of twenty nine. So if you look on here, here's twenty five, twenty six for iron, twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine there is copper. Capital "C" capital "U" and that's a short hand that scientists use for these elements.
