    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.

    Mendeleev's law allowed him to build up a systematic periodic table of all the 66 elements then known based on atomic mass, which he published in Principles of Chemistry in 1869. His first Periodic Table was compiled on the basis of arranging the elements in ascending order of atomic weight and grouping them by similarity of properties.

    This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Examples of themes are: block, state of matter. Examples of themes are: block, state of matter. Each theme can have individual settings for that theme, for example to show "unknown".

    Proton number Z, also named the atomic number, determines the position of an element in the periodic table. The approximately 3300 known nuclides [7] are commonly represented in a chart with Z and N for its axes and the half-life for radioactive decay indicated for each unstable nuclide (see figure). [8]
