    The top number for each element is its atomic number. This is the number of protons in each atom of that element.
    The one-letter or two-letter symbol in each tile is the element symbol. The symbol is an abbreviation for the full element name. Element symbols make it much easier for chemists to write chemical f...
    The bottom number in each element tile is the atomic weight or atomic mass. This value is the average mass of atoms of that element that occur naturally.

    Rows of elements are called periods. The period number of an element signifies the highest unexcited energy level for an electron in that element. The number of elements in a period increases as you move down the periodic tablebecause there are more sublevels per level as the energy level of the atom increases. Columns of elements help define eleme...

    Elements fall into one of three main categories: metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. Most of the elements of the periodic table are metals. These elements occur on the left side of the periodic table. Because there are so many metals, they are further divided into alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, basic metals, lanthanides (ra...
