What are four properties of elements?

Examples: atomic number, atomic weight, density, state of matter, electrical conductivity, etc.


How are elements indentified on the periodic table?

Elements in the table are identified by different things. What they are made of, atomic mass, and atomic number. Elements can also be identified by what state of matter they are at zero degrees Celsius and standard pressure which 1atm. The most current, standard table has 117 different elements.


How are the elements grouped?

Literal groups are by similar chemical properties (alkaline earth, halogens, etc.). Elements are arranged by atomic number (number of protons) and are grouped also by their state of matter. For example, metals are in the middle, liquids are grouped together, and except for Helium, gases are as well.


What can all elements be identified by?

Their atomic number, which represent the number of protons in the nucleus. This will also be the number of electrons in the unionised state of the atom.


Do the elements going horizontally on a periodic table have the same number of electrons?

No two elements would have the same atomic number, so, nor atoms of different elements (in neutral state) would have the same number of electrons.


What is the state of matter for most elements?

The matter for most elements is a solid.


How does the physical state of elements change as atomic number increases?

metal -->nonmetal --> gaseous (metal --> nonmetal --> metalloid)


What is the periodic table list of?

The ones that are elements. Since you didn't provide "the following," that's about the best we can do. This is an absurdly simple question for you to answer yourself anyway. Find a periodic table, look at it, look at the list.


What elements has a ground-state electron configuration different from the predicted one?

There are many elements among the transitional elements which has the electron configuration differed than predicted. Such element with the lowest atomic number is chromium.


The atomic number of an element equals the number of what atomic particles?

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (in the neutral state)


Why is it important for us to be able to read and interpret information found on the periodic table of elements?

It is important so you can knoe the atoms number of protons, nuetrons, and electrons. You can also know it's atomic weight, physical property, and state of matter.


Why is an element's number important?

An elements atomic number is important because it tells you how many protons are in the nucleus of the atom, and how many electrons are orbiting the nucleus in the ground state.
