Bendymon (copper)

In 9000 BC in the Middle East in Egypt Bendymon was discovered. Bendymom was made out of only copper and could bend and twist however he pleased. He was found frozen in a specially made room to stay cold through any temperatures on the outside. Before Bendymon was frozen he was a brass color but after being alive for so long Bendymon is now a green color from the rust. He was unable to move while frozen or his copper body would break. No one knows why Bendymon was frozen or who froze him because he can’t remember all the way back then. But when he was discovered he was carefully taken to a cool place to thaw out. Bendymon had many other special powers such as being able to melt when the sun is out, and transform into anything that he wanted. If Bendymon found any sort of electricity powered machine he can go over to it and take the electricity and conduct it within his body to shock thing with later. Bendymon is a super hero and does his best to conduct lightning strikes and stop any trouble from happening. Bendymon’s main two weaknesses are, being frozen stiff where Bendymon won’t be able to bend and if he tries he will break, and drowning in water because of it’s high density. Drowning in water isn’t as much of a concern because Bendymon can form into a hollow shape and float above the water. Bendymon is a superhero, not the best super hero, but a super hero all the same.

Paragraph 1:

In 1803 Dalton created "Dalton's Law" which was the first time anyone really compared the elements to one another. In 1828 Bezalius was the first to give the elements symbols and he was determined to weigh each atom of all the elements. Newlands started to arrange the elements by atomic weights and started to notice similarities between the multiples of 8 on the elements called the "law of octave". Mendeleev arranged the periodic table by comparing the similarities and the atomic mass. Moseley organized the periodic table by using atomic numbers.

Paragraph 2:
Option 1:

I find Mendeleev the most interesting because he was the man who put it all together. He wrote all the elements onto cards laid them out on a table and just looked at them for hours. But what made it even more difficult, like they said in the movie he was using a deck of cards with a lot of the cards missing. He was so determined to figure out the puzzle that  he locked himself away and worked non-stop for three days. When he finally fell asleep he had a dream and solved the periodic table puzzle. I liked him the most because of his determination to finish what he started.
