You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Hello, this week we're almost at the top of the periodic table because ...

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 ...

each of the elements in group 18 end with the suffix ~on, instead of the suffix for the rest of the periodic table, ~ium (helium is the exception to this rule due to historical precedent).

If an atom has 2 protons, that’s an atom of the element helium. If it has 7 protons, that’s nitrogen. But the logic of the periodic table also relies upon the number and organisation of electr ...

The noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon etc ... Meyer was just four years older than Mendeleev, and produced several Periodic Tables between 1864-1870. His first table contained just 28 elements, ...

And generations of children have sung the words, "hydrogen and helium, lithium, beryllium..." in an attempt to memorise some of the 118 elements. This year, the periodic table of chemical elements ...

Elements in group 1 and group 2 are metals ... See the study guide on groups in the periodic table for more information.

So how has the periodic table been put together ... Any letters that follow will be lower case letters, for example, helium is He. Some element symbols are simple. For example, oxygen is O.Others ...

Of all the light elements, helium-4, which consists of two protons ... It's through these calamities that the rest of the periodic table came into being. It's also through these energetic events ...

New discoveries continuously refine our perspective, with many breakthroughs reported regularly. Whether revolutionary or ...

unique place in the periodic table, and unique atomic weight. The production of this element from uranium through the intermediary of ionium, and the production of helium from radium, and ...
