Atomic weight
The last element in each period is a noble element. It is non-reactive.
The current Periodic Table is organized by each elements atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of each element.
Every element has a different atomic number. With the periodic table, they could organize accordingly to the subatomic particles.
An element's atomic number, or how many protons it has.
The function of a periodic table is to organize and sort elements. It also gives you important information about each element.
Radium (Ra) # 88th element in the periodic table.
Mendeleev's periodic table was based on the atomic masses of elements. However, this was not effective when isotopes were discovered. An isotope of an element is defined as the element having the same atomic number but varying mass numbers. So, mass numbers weren't constant and hence, a better characteristic was chosen -atomic number. Atomic number of any element was a characteristic of a particular element. Hence atomic numbers were taken as the basis of classification instead of atomic masses.
One characteristic property of an element is the number of electrons it has.
The element abbreviated with As on the periodic table is Arsenic
Sodium is the eleventh element on the periodic table.
