How many grams of Francium can there be a single time?

How can Francium used?
2)What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?
A new tool I used was the Gale search engine to gather information on francium and its properties. The familiar tools I used were PowerPoint, google search, and “bibgru” which I used to record my works cited.
3)What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?
The process I used was to follow the criteria n given and then expand on it to gather more information on the element. I keep track of my information by using bibgru which keeps a record of my cited sites, and I used URL void to verify my information.
4)How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?
The process of the challenge went well for me, I completed what was asked and expanded on it. I could have been more productive during class time.
