Give the name and symbol for your favorite element and briefly explain why it has a special place in your heart. Make sure you spell the name correctly and give the proper symbol for the said element.  Example: I like xenon (Xe). It has a cool name, and balloons filled with xenon drop like rocks. Not to mention those bright headlights on expensive cars.

A highly publicized assassination of a Russian defector took place in London in November of 2006. Alexander Litvinenko fell ill on November 1st and died on November 23rd of that year. His illness was sudden and unexplained. After his death, traces of the radioactive isotope polonium 210 (210Po) were found in the tissues of his body. It appears that the radioactive poison was administered in Litvinenko’s tea, and he died of radiation poisoning. His body contained 10.0 micrograms of 210Po (the element Po with an atomic mass of 210.0), which is 200 times the lethal ingested dose of 50. nanograms. How many atoms of 210Po does 10.0 micrograms represent? One gram is 109 nanograms and 106 micrograms.    Poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko Note: Show all work for this question for full credit.
