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.

Researchers may be nearing the creation of element 120. Element 120 would add a new row to the periodic table. New ion-bombardment technique may be the key to synthesising unbinilium.

Both the figure and the table are something like a map or chart of matter on whichFig. 2. The periodic In this figure the periodic chain (fig. 1) is bent in a way that elements of similar ...

Players read questions about energy levels and score points by picking the correct element as the answer. Electrons are in regions around the nucleus that are different distances away from the nucleus ...
