    List of chemical elements - Wikipedia. List of chemical elements. 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). [ 1 ]

  3. Diagonal relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_relationship

    In chemistry, a diagonal relationship is said to exist between certain pairs of diagonally adjacent elements in the second and third periods (first 20 elements) of the periodic table. These pairs (lithium (Li) and magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be) and aluminium (Al), boron (B) and silicon (Si), etc.) exhibit similar properties; for example, boron ...

  6. Period (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(periodic_table)

    In the periodic table of the elements, each numbered row is a period. A period on the periodic table is a row of chemical elements. All elements in a row have the same number of electron shells. Each next element in a period has one more proton and is less metallic than its predecessor. Arranged this way, elements in the same group (column ...

  7. Dividing line between metals and nonmetals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_line_between...

    e. The dividing line between metals and nonmetals can be found, in varying configurations, on some representations of the periodic table of the elements (see mini-example, right). Elements to the lower left of the line generally display increasing metallic behaviour; elements to the upper right display increasing nonmetallic behaviour.

  8. Group (periodic table) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)

    Group (periodic table) In the periodic table of the elements, each column is a group. In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) [ 1 ] is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table; the 14 f-block columns, between groups 2 and 3, are not numbered.

    Periodic table (electron configurations) Configurations of elements 109 and above are not available. Predictions from reliable sources have been used for these elements. Grayed out electron numbers indicate subshells filled to their maximum. Bracketed noble gas symbols on the left represent inner configurations that are the same in each period.
