1. Symbol of your element (make this large on your cube).
2. Name of the element.
You must have at least three pictorial representations of your element. One picture should be the shell pattern of electrons (orbital diagram) that you draw. The other two are your choice. Pictures may be printed out from the Internet or photocopied (you should make them small so they fit on the cube). Important: You must place a caption under each photo. The caption for shell pattern of electrons should say, “Shell pattern of electrons for (name of your element).”
