The discovery of a metal-rich star packed with both light and heavy elements hints at exotic stellar explosions and the role of ancient dwarf galaxies in seeding the cosmos with uranium and thorium.

The periodic table as we know it is widely credited to Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist who kept reference cards on the elements and their atomic weight. In 1869, he noticed that the elements ...

Discover the history, structure, and importance of the periodic table of elements, from Mendeleev’s discovery to modern scientific applications.

Continue to project the image Periodic table of energy levels for elements 1–20 and have students look at their activity sheets to find patterns in the number of electrons within each energy level.

This pattern was consistently eli­ci­ted by stimulation, and was first observed accidentally, du­ring the examination of stuporous or comatose patients 2, 3. The pace of technological advances that ...

This table includes all 118 known elements, providing their names, symbols, and atomic numbers. Image Source: yourdictionary.com. Classification of Elements of Periodic Table ...

Looking at the periodic table, you'll notice vertical columns known as groups. These groups are key to understanding metal reactivity. Metals in the same group have the same number of electrons in ...

First, a little chemistry refresher. Elements are defined by the number of protons in their nucleus. Six protons and it’s carbon, 26 protons mean iron, 92 uranium.

He started his talk by discussing the first modern periodic table produced in 1869 by Dmitri Ivanich Mendeleev (1834-1907), a Russian chemist who developed the periodic classification of the elements ...

That shortcoming, I am ashamed to say, still catches me out: in 2019, I wrote a column in praise of the periodic table’s 150-year anniversary, only to mix up atomic number with mass number.
