**Atomic Number: ** 84

**Protons: ** Using the atomic number figure out the number of protons.

**Electrons: ** Using the atomic number figure out the number of electrons.

**Neutrons: ** Using the atomic number and average atomic mass figure out the number of neutrons in the most common isotope.

**Average Atomic Mass: ** Record the average atomic mass.

**Isotopes: ** List the most common stable isotopes. [|WebElements] <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> is a great place to find this information.

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Discovery: **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This element was found in 1898 by Marie Curie while figuring out the reason behind radioactivity in pitchblende during her visit in Joachismthal, Bohemia. It required acquiring large amounts of pitchblende in order to make small amounts of polonium.

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Name: **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> This element was named from Poland, Marie Curie's birthplace.

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Uses: **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Used for eliminating static charges in textile mills -sources are more common and less dangerous, on brushes for removing dust from photographic films, thermoelectric power in space satellites, source of neutrons
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Interesting Facts **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">: There are no known health risks because it is not a naturally produced element.
