  2. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    The periodic table and law are now a central and indispensable part of modern chemistry. The periodic table continues to evolve with the progress of science. In nature, only elements up to atomic number 94 exist; [a] to go further, it was necessary to synthesize new elements in the laboratory.

  3. File:The Periodic Table of the Elements in Pictures.pdf

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Periodic_Table_of...

    English: This pictorial periodic table is colorful, boring, and packed with information. In addition to the element's name, symbol, and atomic number, each element box has a drawing of one of the element's main human uses or natural occurrences. The table is color-coded to show the chemical groupings.

  4. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

    118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC.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).

  5. Periodic table (electron configurations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(electron...

    The periodic table of electron configurations shows the arrangement of electrons in atoms, organized by increasing atomic number and chemical properties.

    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.

  7. Period 4 element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_4_element

    A period 4 element is one of the chemical elements in the fourth row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall ...

  8. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    The periodic trends in properties of elements. In chemistry, periodic trends are specific patterns present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of certain elements when grouped by period and/or group. They were discovered by the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1863.

  9. Electron configurations of the elements (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configurations_of...

    For phosphorus (element 15) as an example, the concise form is [Ne] 3s 2 3p 3. Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms.
