Using Webelements

What I had actually meant was for you to use the webelements periodic table to identify all of the elements which are radioactive or synthetic (in which case they are radioactive). With the information that is provided from that site (discoverer or developer and the year in which this occurred), create a timeline of those elements - paying particular attention to whether these cluster around a certain period or years, if there were individuals who participated in more than one discovery/development or if it all appears to be pretty random. When you get this list finished, create a word document with the timeline and turn it in to me. I'll be curious to see what you discover.

Timeline in Radioactive Substances

So far, this is pretty good work. I need to remind you that you should be keeping a record of the websites you've used for your responses. You will need to provide a list of those used so far and keep up with them for the remainder of this project.

Your next assignment is to construct list of radioactive elements, the person who discovered it, and the dates of their discovery. The best source would probably be www.webelements.com.
