atomic number e.g. number of protons
Today (June 2013) the periodic table contain 118 chemical elements, natural or artificial.
Not determined up today.
Hydrogen is the first chemical element in the Periodic Table of Mendeleev.
The heaviest element in the periodic table (known in March 2013) is ununoctium.
in ascending order by atomic number (number of protons) of an atom of a particular element. previously, the periodic table had elements ordered by atomic mass.
The element 120 was not obtained until today. The position will be probable in the group 2, under radium.
In 1869 when D. Mendeleev designed his periodic table any element in the period 7 was known. Today francium is in the group 1, period 7, atomic number 87.
Today 94 elements (1 to 94) are considered natural chemical elements.
The order of elements on today's periodic table is determined by each element's atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number from left to right and top to bottom on the periodic table. This organization allows elements with similar properties to be grouped together in columns called groups or families.
Xe is the symbol for Xenon on the Periodic table. This is because in the latin language these are the first two letters of the element that are still used today.

"In" in the periodic table stands for the element indium. It is a soft, malleable metal with a shiny silver luster. Indium is used in a variety of applications, such as in electronics and solar panels.
