The periodic table, also called the periodic table of elements, is an organized arrangement of the 118 known chemical elements. The chemical elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom ...

The heaviest elements of the periodic table have intriguing atomic and nuclear properties 1. Valence-electron configurations and ionization potentials are strongly influenced by relativistic effects ...

The inventor Buckminster Fuller once described technological progress as “ephemeralization.” Sunbeams and breezes are replacing coal and oil as energy sources, brands are more important than buildings ...

The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance ...

The periodic table is one of the triumphs of science. Even before certain elements had been discovered, this chart could successfully predict their masses, densities, how they would link up with other ...

Today the periodic table is a familiar sight in science classrooms. It takes the 118 elements that compose everything in the known universe and arranges them so that substances in any given column ...

As of 2019, the Periodic Table of the Elements has been around for 150 years. Maybe you've felt a certain chemistry with 2019 but don't know why? Maybe it's because this year marks the 150th ...

Physicists develop a 'nuclear periodic table'. While the traditional table is based on the behavior of electrons in an atom, this new table is based on the protons in the nucleus. Protons have ...

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 ...

Every field of science has its favorite anniversary. For physics, it’s Newton’s Principia of 1687, the book that introduced the laws of motion and gravity. Biology celebrates Darwin’s On the Origin of ...
