     In 1808 Sir Humphry Davy made something incredible. He created the most incredible man anyone has ever seen. His name was magnesium. Magnesium is made from such a simple metal from the Earth's crust. He was very light which made him very nimble and fast but also very strong. Magnesium was very easy to spot because of his recognizable color. He was a silver white color.
      Magnesium was not your average guy. Because of his unusual body matter he was able to do things to help people in need that other people could not. He had many superpowers that were very useful but his most positive attribute was the way he could heal people. Magnesium healed many people but mainly people who were having heart trouble. He had a special since that let him know when people were going to have a heart attack and when he would hear of someone in need he would rush to their aid and break off a little bit of his finger and have them eat it. This was because his body was made up of  valuable minerals that were imperative to have in your body to stay healthy. Magnesium's finger tips could stop any type of heart trouble before it hit a person.
      Magnesium also worked side by side with the U.S. military. At one point he was the army's most valuable weapon. As well as stopping heart trouble Magnesium's finger tips could be made into a powerful bomb that was guaranteed to kill off the opponent. This was very valuable to the military because at this time they had not come up with anything this powerful.
       Magnesium had one weakness that he would not tell anyone for fear that it would be used against him in his efforts to fight off sickness and opposing country's at war. One day Magnesium was at battle fighting side by side with U.S. troops when he became trapped in a burning building. His body caught on fire instantly and set off the brightest light anyone had ever seen. Magnesium was so bright when set on fire that he blinded all of his enemy's at once, on the other hand his weakness had been discovered and it led to his almost instantaneous death. Magnesium never lived to blind, save, or blow anyone up ever again.

paragraph 2- 1- The person that i found most interesting out of all the men we studied was Mendeleev. I think that he contributed to the periodic table more than anyone else because of how he classified the elements. Not only was able to arrange the elements on the table in a way that mad since but he left room for more elements. He was realistic about his beleifs about what elements might still be out there instead of just deciding that he had found them all.

Dalton set up a school to teach others and kept meteorological diary for 57 years. Dalton was an avid reader and a deep thinker. He said that an element is always the same weight by prper no matter where it was from. Dalton used his imagination as a microscope, and his theorys were dismissed. Bezalimus was one of the few people who agreed with the ideas of Dalton. He was a sweedish chemist who worked along side Dalton and he worked out the chemical formula notation. Some of Bezalimus's  acomplishments were  chemical notation, discovering new elements, and developing new chemistry terms such as catalysis, polymer, isomere, and allotrope. Dobereiner was responsible for the discovery of the elements chemical property. The way that he was able to figure this out was he picked out 3 elements with similar chemical propertys and evaluated them. Mendeleev was probly the greatest contributer to the periodic table, he organized all the known elements onto the periodic table and then he predicted many more that would be dicovered in later times. Connizaro measured atomic weights accuratly. He was a Russian Leonardo Divinci. John Newland contributed to the periodic table by arranging the elements by weight. Every 8 properties used to repeat.
