    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. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    A chemical element is a chemical substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons. For example, oxygen has an atomic number of 8, meaning each oxygen atom has 8 protons in its nucleus. Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, known as isotopes of the element.

  4. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound. A compound can be transformed into a different substance by a chemical ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide

    An oxide (/ ˈɒksaɪd /) is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element [1] in its chemical formula. "Oxide" itself is the dianion (anion bearing a net charge of –2) of oxygen, an O 2– ion with oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the Earth's crust consists of oxides.

  6. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    A chemical substance is a unique form of matter with constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. [1][2] Chemical substances may take the form of a single element or chemical compounds. If two or more chemical substances can be combined without reacting, they may form a chemical mixture. [3]

  7. Periodic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

    v. t. e. 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 ...
