2. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

   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. Periodic table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

   The periodic table, also known as the periodic table of the elements, is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows ("periods") and columns ("groups"). It is an icon of chemistry and is widely used in physics and other sciences. It is a depiction of the periodic law, which states that when the elements are arranged in order of ...

4. 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 ...

5. Properties of metals, metalloids and nonmetals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_metals...

   e. The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids, and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties. All elemental metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metallic elements; and have at least one basic oxide.

6. Chemical element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

   Use of the periodic table is now ubiquitous in chemistry, providing an extremely useful framework to classify, systematize and compare all the many different forms of chemical behavior. The table has also found wide application in physics , geology , biology , materials science , engineering , agriculture , medicine , nutrition , environmental ...

7. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

   Nitrogen is a nonmetal and the lightest member of group 15 of the periodic table, often called the pnictogens. It is a common element in the universe, estimated at seventh in total abundance in the Milky Way and the Solar System. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bond to form N 2, a colourless and odourless diatomic ...

8. Period 7 element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_7_element

   A period 7 element is one of the chemical elements in the seventh 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 behavior of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behavior begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behavior fall ...
