2. 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 of ...

3. History of the periodic table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_periodic_table

   The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements, structured by their atomic number, electron configuration and recurring chemical properties. In the basic form, elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, in the reading sequence. Then, rows and columns are created by starting new rows and inserting blank cells, so ...

4. Types of periodic tables - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_periodic_tables

   Theodor Benfey's arrangement is an example of a continuous (spiral) table. First published in 1964, it explicitly showed the location of lanthanides and actinides.The elements form a two-dimensional spiral, starting from hydrogen, and folding their way around two peninsulas, the transition metals, and lanthanides and actinides.

5. Block (periodic table) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_(periodic_table)

   P. J. Stewart In Foundations of Chemistry, 2017 There is an approximate correspondence between this nomenclature of blocks, based on electronic configuration, and sets of elements based on chemical properties. The s-block and p-block together are usually considered main-group elements, the d-block corresponds to the transition metals, and the f-block corresponds to the inner transition metals ...

6. Main-group element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main-group_element

   In chemistry and atomic physics, the main group is the group of elements (sometimes called the representative elements) whose lightest members are represented by helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine as arranged in the periodic table of the elements. The main group includes the elements (except hydrogen ...

7. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

   From left to right in the periodic table, the nonmetals can be divided into the reactive nonmetals and the noble gases. The reactive nonmetals near the metalloids show some incipient metallic character, such as the metallic appearance of graphite, black phosphorus, selenium and iodine. The noble gases are almost completely inert.
