2. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

   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

   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 ...

4. 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.

5. Group (periodic table) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. The elements in a group have similar ...

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 ...
