  3. Period 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_5_element

    Strontium is the second element placed in the 5th period. It is an alkaline earth metal , a relatively reactive group, although not nearly as reactive as the alkali metals . Like rubidium, it has 5 electron shells or energy levels , and in accordance with the Madelung rule it has two electrons in its 5s subshell .

  4. Group 5 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    synthetic element. Group 5 is a group of elements in the periodic table. Group 5 contains vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and dubnium (Db). [1] This group lies in the d-block of the periodic table. This group is sometimes called the vanadium group or vanadium family after its lightest member; however, the group itself has not acquired ...

  5. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows (" periods ") and columns (" groups "). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences. It is a depiction of the periodic law, which states that when the elements are arranged in order ...

  6. Alkaline earth metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_earth_metal

    Alkaline earth metal. The alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic table. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). [1] The elements have very similar properties: they are all shiny, silvery-white, somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and ...

  7. Transition metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_metal

    v. t. e. In chemistry, a transition metal (or transition element) is a chemical element in the d-block of the periodic table (groups 3 to 12), though the elements of group 12 (and less often group 3) are sometimes excluded. The lanthanide and actinide elements (the f-block) are called inner transition metals and are sometimes considered to be ...

  8. Rubidium–strontium dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium–strontium_dating

    Rubidium–strontium dating. The rubidium–strontium dating method (Rb–Sr) is a radiometric dating technique, used by scientists to determine the age of rocks and minerals from their content of specific isotopes of rubidium (87 Rb) and strontium (87 Sr, 86 Sr). One of the two naturally occurring isotopes of rubidium, 87 Rb, decays to 87 Sr ...

  9. Döbereiner's triads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Döbereiner's_triads

    By 1829, Döbereiner had found other groups of three elements (hence "triads") whose physical properties were similarly related. [2] He also noted that some quantifiable properties of elements (e.g. atomic weight and density) in a triad followed a trend whereby the value of the middle element in the triad would be exactly or nearly predicted by taking the arithmetic mean of values for that ...
