In geologic time, the Hadean is the first EONof Earth's history, from it's formation 4.57 billion years ago to about 4 billion years ago. The Hadean is not an era, which is a smaller subdivision of geologic time.
The Hadean Eon, the earliest time interval, was when the Earth was cooling, and continents and oceans formed. Lifeforms are thought to have appeared in the following eon, the Archean Eon.(eras are a much smaller time interval, and the Hadean is not normally subdivided into these)
The oldest named Era was the Eoarchean Era from 4 to 3.6 billion years ago. This was preceeded by the Hadean Eon (4,576.2 to 4,000 Ma) but this so far is not subdivided into eras.

The Precambrian Era can be divided into three major eras. These eras include the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic.
The earliest era is the Cryptic era (an informal designation) for the earliest part of the Hadean eon which is not technically seperated into era. The first formal era is the Eoarchaean.
The Hadean Eon lasted from Earths formation about 4.5762 billion years ago until 4 billion years ago, some 576.2 million years.
The Hadean Eon covers the time from accretion to the earliest known rocks.
"The Hadean time period is often referred to as the 'Hadean Eon.'"

The Hadean Era is the earliest stage of Earth's history as a planet, when the crust was thin and easily ruptured by volcanic activity.
The Hadean is the oldest, it started at Earth's formation about 4.6 billion years ago (4,600 Ma), and ended roughly 3.8 billion years ago.
I'm going to assume you meant the Geologic Time Scale, not the Periodic Table of the Elements. In that case, the answer is the Hadean Era (which is the first in the Precambrian Eon) Although Archean Era might also be acceptable.
