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).
Boron (1s 2 2s 2 2p 1) puts its new electron in a 2p orbital; carbon (1s 2 2s 2 2p 2) fills a second 2p orbital; and with nitrogen (1s 2 2s 2 2p 3) all three 2p orbitals become singly occupied. This is consistent with Hund's rule , which states that atoms usually prefer to singly occupy each orbital of the same type before filling them with the ...
41 of the 118 known elements have names associated with, or specifically named for, places around the world or among astronomical objects. 32 of these have names tied to the places on Earth, and the other nine are named after to Solar System objects: helium for the Sun; tellurium for the Earth; selenium for the Moon; mercury (indirectly), uranium, neptunium and plutonium after their respective ...

[4] [5] George Gamow, Lev Landau, and Vitalii Goldanski (who was alive at the time) were suggested for consideration for honoring with elements during the Transfermium Wars, but were not actually proposed.

The compound ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) (NH 4) 2 [Ce(NO 3) 6] is the most common cerium compound encountered in the laboratory. The six nitrate ligands bind as bidentate ligands . The complex [Ce(NO 3 ) 6 ] 2− is 12-coordinate, a high coordination number which emphasizes the large size of the Ce 4+ ion.
A period 5 element is one of the chemical elements in the fifth row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall ...
