Apr 21, 2024 · As of April 2024, 118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC. A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z).
Apr 19, 2024 · Periodic table, in chemistry, the organized array of all the chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number. When the elements are thus arranged, there is a recurring pattern called the ‘periodic law’ in their properties, in which elements in the same column (group) have similar properties.
- What is the periodic table?The periodic table is a tabular array of the chemical elements organized by atomic number, from the element with the lowest atomic number, hydrogen...
- What do periodic table groups have in common?The groups of the periodic table are displayed as vertical columns numbered from 1 to 18. The elements in a group have very similar chemical proper...
- Where does the periodic table come from?The arrangement of the elements in the periodic table comes from the electronic configuration of the elements. Because of the Pauli exclusion princ...
- Why does the periodic table split?The periodic table has two rows at the bottom that are usually split out from the main body of the table. These rows contain elements in the lantha...
1 day ago · edit. | references. Tellurium is a chemical element; it has symbol Te and atomic number 52. It is a brittle, mildly toxic, rare, silver-white metalloid. Tellurium is chemically related to selenium and sulfur, all three of which are chalcogens. It is occasionally found in its native form as elemental crystals.

1 day ago · Group (mathematics) The manipulations of the Rubik's Cube form the Rubik's Cube group. In mathematics, a group is a set with an operation that satisfies the following constraints: the operation is associative and has an identity element, and every element of the set has an inverse element. Many mathematical structures are groups endowed with ...
Apr 11, 2024 · Iridium, chemical element, one of the platinum metals of Groups 8–10 (VIIIb), Periods 5 and 6, of the periodic table. It is very dense and rare and is used in platinum alloys. A precious, silver-white metal, iridium is hard and brittle, but it becomes ductile and can be worked at a white heat.

Apr 15, 2024 · curium. einsteinium. fermium. nobelium. Glenn T. Seaborg (born April 19, 1912, Ishpeming, Michigan, U.S.—died February 25, 1999, Lafayette, California) was an American nuclear chemist best known for his work on isolating and identifying transuranium elements (those heavier than uranium ). He shared the 1951 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with ...
1 day ago · The columns of elements are called groups or families. Groups are numbered from 1 (the alkali metals) to 18 (the noble gases). Elements with a group share a valence electron configuration. Elements within a group display a pattern with respect atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy.
