Lanthanides and actinides!
Lanthanide elements
Lanthanides and actinides!
lanthanoids and actenoids
Two rows of elements called the "LANTHANIDES" and the "ACTINIDES".
Lanthanides and Actinides.
The other transtion metals. They are called Lathanoids and Anthanoids I believe. They are moved out of order so that all the elements could fit on one page.
If the Lanthanoids and Actinoids were included in the main part of the periodic table, then the table would appear to be much wider.See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(wide)These are relatively rare substances, not commonly found around most ordinary chemistry labs. By separating them, it makes the periodic table more compact & more readable.
The bottom two rows shown on most periodic tables are:Lanthanide series - which belongs to the 6th periodActinide series - which belongs to the 7th period
Noble gases were not discovered when Mendeleev formulated his periodic table in 1869. Hence noble gases were not shown in the periodic table of 1869.
The properties of elements are periodic function of atomic number.This is shown in modern periodic atble.
Just so it can fit on one page
