Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

To expand the periodic table, it might be time to go titanium. A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically charged ...

Why it matters: The periodic table organizes elements by atomic number and properties, making it a powerful tool for predicting reactivity and bonding tendencies. Learning made easier: Interactive ...

Have we reached the end of the line of discoverable elements? Scientists have been slowly extending the periodic table one element at a time, pushing to higher and higher masses, and have discovered ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Periodic: A Game of the Elements to help students better understand both general periodic trends and the law of conservation of energy. This ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

Ram Mohan looks at how bismuth — a remarkably harmless element among the toxic heavy metals in the periodic table — has sparked interest in areas varying from medicinal to industrial chemistry.

Life itself depends on a core group of about a dozen elements – such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen – along with ...
