The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

The rows of the table are called periods, and the columns are called groups. Elements from the same column group of the periodic table show similar chemical characteristics. Trends run through the ...

But how many of these elements do you know? Test your knowledge and compete with other Live Science readers to see who can ...

and all the elements in group 0 are unreactive non-metals. The zigzag, staircase, line in the diagram of the periodic table above separates the metals, on the left, from non-metals, on the right.

As part of the ChemClub's 10 th Anniversary (2015-2016), we asked clubs to create elements of the periodic table featuring a mole. To celebrate the International Year of the Periodic Table (IYPT) in ...

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.

Developing the periodic table The periodic table was developed by grouping elements with similar properties. This, together with a later arrangement by atomic weight, led to a repeating pattern of ...
