To retrieve a single item for an element: {{Infobox element/symbol-to-pronunciation|symbol=Mg|item=ipa1}} → / m æ ɡ ˈ n iː z i ə m / |item=: ipa1, respell1, ipa2, respell2, note (defaults to ipa1) Same suffix-numbers make a pair: ipa1 equals respell1. {{Infobox element/pronunciation}} retrieves all four items to format the result.
Periodic table of the chemical elements showing the most or more commonly named sets of elements (in periodic tables), and a traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The f-block actually fits between groups 2 and 3; it is usually shown at the foot of the table to save horizontal space.
A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). [ 1 ] The definitive visualisation of all 118 elements is the periodic table of the elements , whose history along the principles of the periodic law was one of the founding ...
Exceptions to the principle also occur later in the periodic table for elements such as copper, niobium and molybdenum. [ 17 ] Chromium is the first element in the 3d series where the 3d electrons start to sink into the core; they thus contribute less to metallic bonding , and hence the melting and boiling points and the enthalpy of atomisation ...
The synthetic elements are those with atomic numbers 95–118, as shown in purple on the accompanying periodic table: [1] these 24 elements were first created between 1944 and 2010. The mechanism for the creation of a synthetic element is to force additional protons into the nucleus of an element with an atomic number lower than 95.
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev predicted its existence and some of its properties from its position on his periodic table, and called the element ekasilicon. On February 6, 1886, Clemens Winkler at Freiberg University found the new element, along with silver and sulfur, in the mineral argyrodite. Winkler named the element after Germany, his country ...
