It's over an element, and I have to research its uses and other topics that do not pertain to the element's chemical or physical properties or appearances. Help?
How do I start a Research paper for Chemistry?
How about phosphorus, the first element discovered in modern times? Also, there is the 'yuck' factor: it was first isolated from urine.
Another good one might be nitrogen. You could discuss nitrogen-fixing bacteria, explosives, and fertilizers (both natural sources and artifical). Make sure you look at the Haber process, named for Fritz Haber. This process allowed for the inexpensive development of artificial fertilizers, causing more food to be grown. The world's population grew very slowly and hit one billion about 1900. Since then, it has gone to 6 billion and is projected to go to 9-10 billion in the next 30 (not sure on that number) years.
Oh yes, the Haber process allowed Germany to make its own explosives for WWI and may have prolonged it by some unknown period of time.
Best wishes with your report.
