When you see the periodic table, what comes to mind? The pieces on a Scrabble board? Maybe you think about your high school chemistry class. Maybe you think of the colorful table plastered on the wall ...

For now, they're known by working names, like ununseptium and ununtrium — two of the four new chemical elements whose discovery has been officially verified. The elements with atomic numbers 113, 115, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The Periodic Table of Chemical Elements is one of the most significant achievements in science, capturing the essence not only of chemistry, but also of physics, medicine, earth ...

It is an icon of natural science and hangs in most chemistry classrooms: the periodic table of elements, which is celebrating its 150th birthday this year. The tabular overview is closely linked to ...

This year is the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements—and today (March 6), the modern version celebrates its 150 th birthday. To find out more about the table and how new ...

The group 1 elements are all soft, reactive metals with low melting points. They react with water to produce an alkaline metal hydroxide solution and hydrogen. Reactivity increases down the group.

It has been a key part school chemistry lessons for more than a century, but now the periodic table may need to be redrawn after scientists found a rare element may be very different from originally ...

In creating five new isotopes, an international research team working at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University has brought the stars closer to Earth. The universe is ...

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 ...
