![]() ![]() In nature, only elements up to atomic number 94 exist to go further, it was necessary to synthesise new elements in the laboratory. The periodic table continues to evolve with the progress of science. The periodic table and law are now a central and indispensable part of modern chemistry. Seaborg's discovery that the actinides were in fact f-block rather than d-block elements. A recognisably modern form of the table was reached in 1945 with Glenn T. It was explained early in the 20th century, with the discovery of atomic numbers and associated pioneering work in quantum mechanics both ideas serving to illuminate the internal structure of the atom. The periodic law was recognized as a fundamental discovery in the late 19th century. As not all elements were then known, there were gaps in his periodic table, and Mendeleev successfully used the periodic law to predict some properties of some of the missing elements. The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869 he formulated the periodic law as a dependence of chemical properties on atomic mass. Nonmetallic character increases going from the bottom left of the periodic table to the top right. Metallic character increases going down a group and decreases from left to right across a period. Vertical, horizontal and diagonal trends characterize the periodic table. Elements in the same group tend to show similar chemical characteristics. The table is divided into four roughly rectangular areas called blocks. It is a depiction of the periodic law, which says that when the elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers an approximate recurrence of their properties is evident. It is an organizing icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences. Plus an index, glossary and suggested reading and additional references and Resourcesīoth a gift book and a practical book, Exploring the Elementsis for teachers and librarians, parents and grandparents, the home bookshelf and classroom bookshelf, science enthusiasts and budding scientists of all ages.The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, arranges the chemical elements into rows (" periods") and columns (" groups"). Additional details showing where each element is found in the universe (from food on our plates to the center of a star), its unique properties, atomic diagram, secret chemistry, and working examples of how it's used or changing the world Each of the 118 elements is visually presented with its respective letter symbol and atomic number, as well as a map of where it's located in the periodic table Wrapped in a double-sided jacket, with the illustrated periodic table printed on the underside, Exploring the Elementsis jam-packed with 240 pages of information, including: - A comprehensive introduction explaining what elements are and the design and purpose of the periodic table Complete with a comprehensive introduction, conclusion, and glossary, this is the perfect introduction to chemistry for inquisitive minds. Graphically stunning layouts feature each element's letter symbol and atomic number, exploring its attributes, characteristics, uses, and interesting stories behind its discovery. This artful and accessible guide to the periodic table - the ultimate reference tool for scientists worldwide - names all 118 chemical elements and helps young readers understand the remarkable ways we have learned to use them. A graphically stunning, comprehensive introduction to the chemical elements that make up our universe ![]()
