periodic table of elements

Procedure:
1. Select one compound in the product label of canned goods, toothpaste, condiments, soap,
medicine, and the like.

chemical properties, uses, and a picture/ illustration of the compound.
3. Select one of the component elements of the compound and research on the chemical
symbol, atomic number, classification, group and period number, year of discovery, physical
and chemical properties, uses, and a picture/ illustration of the element.
