Can all elements on the periodic table be classified as a metals or metaliods?

Add non-metals to the mix and yup you've just summarized the entire periodic table of elements.


Is this statement true or false The periodic table of the elements is now complete because there are no more elements to add.?

False. The periodic table is not complete as new elements are still being discovered or synthesized by scientists. These elements are typically new, man-made elements that are highly unstable and exist only for a very short time.


How many groups are listed in the Periodic Table of Elements?

Meatals: 88 Semimeatals: 6 Nonmeatals: 18 Add: Groups 1 and 18 contain 7 elements. Groups 2, 13-16 contain 6 elements. Groups 3-12 contain 4 elements. Some periodic tables do not include all of the elements 113-118 as only a few atoms of each have been observed in the laboratory.

Did Mendeleev fix the problem of predicted where new elements would fit into the periodic table?

Yes, Dimitri Mendeleev did (accurately, I might add) predict where elements would appear in his table. He also correctly predicted some of the missing elements' properties, based on where they were positioned in his table.


Why does it take to long to add new elements to the periodic table?

because they have to discover them. they're not gonna just walk outside to their front lawn and discover a new element


What makes the element atoms stable as they appear on the Periodic Table?

The elements on the periodic table get stabler the closer you get to the noble gases because they have a strong pull to the nucleus making it hard for other elements to take away an electron, and a full shell making it difficult to add an electron, so the atoms do not react when they come in contact with other things.


What elements have 2 protons in the nucleus?

Helium, number two on the periodic table of elements. Nothing else has two protons, for to remove a proton or add a proton is to change the element.


Why is lathanide and actinide not part of the periodic table?

Besides the periodic table, an electron chart of the elements exists. The periodic table shows the broad outline. The electron chart goes into greater detail. The periodic table lists elements according to electrons in their outer shell. As elements get more massive they get more protons and electrons. Each time they add a proton, they jump one notch in the periodic table. When they add the electron, it is a valence electron and it affects the chemical properties. There comes a point when elements start adding electrons when the electrons are not added to the outer shell with the other electrons in the valence shell. The chemical properties do not change as the elements get heavier. It is extremely difficult to use chemistry to separate the elements in that group. If you had an electron chart, you would see the electrons followed a different pattern. That is why the lanthanides and actinides are set apart from the other elements on the periodic table. According to their chemical properties, they would all need to be put into one box.


How the periodic table is arrange?

It is arranged by increasing atomic number.Atomic number is the number of protons in an atoms nucleus. The number of protons in an atoms nucleus is what makes an element that specific element. Like Hydrogen has one proton in each nucleus, then add one more proton and it turns into Helium, add another and it turns into Lithium, and etc.


What is the most common type of element on the periodic table?

The most abundant element in the universe is Hydrogen (H). The second most common is Helium (He). However, these are only found in trace amounts on Earth. Add: Most elements are metals.


Where are new elements placed on the periodic table?

You'd need to either discover them or create them. All elements with atomic numbers 1 through 116 have been discovered or synthetically created, as well as 118. 117 hasn't officially been observed, however.


Which elements proved difficult for Mendeleev to add to his table because they were found to combine in various rations with other elements?

Mendeleev found it challenging to place certain elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, in his periodic table due to their ability to form compounds in multiple ratios with other elements. This variability in combining capacity made it difficult to assign a definitive atomic weight and position within the table. Additionally, elements like oxygen and sulfur also exhibited similar complexities, leading to ambiguities in their placement. Mendeleev's eventual recognition of these challenges underscored the limitations of his early periodic system.
