they are the lanthanide and actinide series of rare earths
elements
The f-block elements are placed at the bottom of the periodic table because if they were placed where they belong the periodic table would be too big to fit on a normal sheet of paper.
The elements that are placed outside of the periodic table are called transactinides. These elements are usually placed in a separate row below the main table and are synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.
Lanthanides (elements with atomic number 57-71) and actinides (elements with atomic number 89 to 103) are placed at the bottom of the periodic table.
At the bottom of the Periodic Table
elements 56 through 71 are called the lanthanoids
f-block elements (lanthanides and actinides)
The gaps represented the elements which were not discovered. When the elements were invented, they were placed into these gaps.
The f-block elements are placed at the bottom of the periodic table because if they were placed where they belong the periodic table would be too big to fit on a normal sheet of paper.
The elements that are placed outside of the periodic table are called transactinides. These elements are usually placed in a separate row below the main table and are synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.
If new elements are placed, then they would be appended in the periodic table. It won't disturb existing periodic table.
Lanthanides (elements with atomic number 57-71) and actinides (elements with atomic number 89 to 103) are placed at the bottom of the periodic table.
Lanthanides and Actinides are placed separately as the properties of these elements is quite different from the elements in periodic table.
Metals are placed at the left. Non-metals are placed at right in periodic table.
The periodic table contain all chemical elements, placed in a rational order.
