What are some elements on the periodic table of elements?

Answer 1

well, that would depend on your own common knowlege of the elements. However, the most common are: Hydrogen, Lithium, Oxygen, Helium, Carbon, Sulfur, Chlorine, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Tin, Silver, Gold, Mercury, and Lead.

hope i was of help! :)

Answer 3

In the words of the immortal Tom Lehrer:

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,

And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,

And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,

And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,

Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,

And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,

And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium,

And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.

There's yttrium, ytterbium, actinium, rubidium,

And boron, gadolinium, niobium, iridium,

And strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,

And bismuth, bromine, lithium, beryllium, and barium.

There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,

And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and terbium,

And manganese and mercury, molybdenum, magnesium,

Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.

And lead, praseodymium, and platinum, plutonium,

Palladium, promethium, potassium, polonium,

And tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium,

And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

There's sulfur, californium, and fermium, berkelium,

And also mendelevium, einsteinium, nobelium,

And argon, krypton, neon, radon, xenon, zinc, and rhodium,

And chlorine, carbon, cobalt, copper, tungsten, tin, and sodium.

(to be sung to the tune of "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Pirates of Penzance.)

In addition, there are a few on the modern table that weren't present when Lehrer wrote this classic piece (as he originally noted at the end, "these are the only ones of which the news has come to Hahvahd/and there may be many others, but they haven't been discahved." If you're from Boston, "Harvard" and "discovered" rhyme.). Specifically, his list tops out at 102, nobelium. Since then elements up to 118 have been reported.

The list starting with 103 goes:

lawrencium, rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium, bohrium, hassium, meitnerium, darmstadtium, roentgenium, copernicium, and then we run out of official names and start on the temporary, preliminary, systematic names of ununtrium, ununquadium, ununpentium, ununhexium, ununseptium and ununoctium, though you'd have to have a fairly modern Periodic Table to have it list all of those.

Answer 4

Define descriptive intent of "typical"

Question may be, "What are common elements on the periodic table in terms of planetary occurence," or "What are well-known elements on the periodic table," or "What are frequently occuring elements on the periodic table in terms of reference in human society?".

If query pertains to frequency of occurence of periodic elements within the known universe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_the_chemical_elements)

Then the answer is:

Hydrogen 739,000 71 × mass of Oxygen (red bar) 2 Helium 240,000 23 × mass of Oxygen (red bar) 8 Oxygen 10,400

6 Carbon 4,600

10 Neon 1,340

26 Iron 1,090

7 Nitrogen 960

14 Silicon 650

12 Magnesium 580

16 Sulfur

However, if the question is which elements would be typical in the environment of humans:

The answer is probably closer to, at least in regards to the biosphere, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argonne, Carbon, and Hydrogen (these first four are the main components of breathable air upon Earth, and the fifth added then accounts for the bulk of the oceans and the living and non-living carbon stores like fossile fuels and forests/jungles), though depending on where you are considering the "oceans" or the "atmosphere," Oxygen could be more common than Nitrogen and vice versa.

Then, the occurence of elements within the crust of Earth would be Iron, Oxygen, Silicon, Magnesium, Sulfur, Nickle, Calcium, and Aluminum (in descending order of occurence).

.

The planetary distribution Iron, Oxygen, Silicon, Magnesium, Sulfur, Nickle, Calcium, ad Aluminum, note that apparently Hydrogen and Nitrogen drop from those of greatest occurence, probably due to the fact that Oxygen is actually also part of the planet's crust and Nitrogen, though a major component of the atmosphere/breathable air, isn't much in terms of actual mol weight.

Thus, the "typicalness" of elements in the human environment is actually not straightforward as it depends on what it is you are specifically thinking.

If the question pertains to what elements are "typical" in human experience, the answer is highly variable as one could easily say, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Carbon are the leaders for constituting the bulk of the biosphere that humans occupy.

Or it could be said that Iron, Copper, Oxygen, Silicone, Sodium, Hydrogen, and Carbon are the most typical because they constitute the bulk of the physical substances most humans encounter.

Finally, in terms of "typical" in the sense that the element is commonly known, that would probably all of the elements listed above with the addition of Gold, Silver, Nickle, and probably Mercury. Platinum could be considered common as well, though many others like Lithium (in batteries) are also fairly common.

A precise answer requires some sort of sampling within the human population to determine what are the most "typical" elements in their experience.

Answer 5

Metals are the most common type of element on the periodic table. Hydrogen and Helium are the most common in the universe from that table.

Answer 6

There are many that you would call common in the sense that most people have heard about them: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, lead and gold.

Answer 7

Argon,hydrogen,uranium,helium
