    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).

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    Superactinides – Hypothetical series of elements 121 to 157, which includes a predicted "g-block" of the periodic table. Transactinide elementsElements after the actinides (atomic number greater than 103). Transplutonium elementsElements with atomic number greater than 94. Transuranium elementsElements with atomic number ...

  5. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    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.

  6. Non-adjacent form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-adjacent_form

    Obviously, at most half of the digits are non-zero, which was the reason it was introduced by G.W. Reitweisner [2] for speeding up early multiplication algorithms, much like Booth encoding. Because every non-zero digit has to be adjacent to two 0s, the NAF representation can be implemented such that it only takes a maximum of m + 1 bits for a ...

  7. Nonmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonmetal

    In 1802 the term "metalloids" was introduced for elements with the physical properties of metals but the chemical properties of non-metals. [194] However, in 1811, the Swedish chemist Berzelius used the term "metalloids" [ 195 ] to describe all nonmetallic elements, noting their ability to form negatively charged ions with oxygen in aqueous ...

  8. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    These elements originally referred to earth, water, air and fire rather than the chemical elements of modern science. The term 'elements' (stoicheia) was first used by Greek philosopher Plato around 360 BCE in his dialogue Timaeus, which includes a discussion of the composition of inorganic and organic bodies and is a speculative treatise on ...

  9. Dividing line between metals and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_line_between...

    The dividing line between metals and nonmetals can be found, in varying configurations, on some representations of the periodic table of the elements (see mini-example, right). Elements to the lower left of the line generally display increasing metallic behaviour; elements to the upper right display increasing nonmetallic behaviour.
