Ununoctium was discovered (prepared) in 2006; old Mendeleev tables (printed before 2006) don't contain ununoctium.
In some periodic tables
Any practical use for ununoctium.
15 (the 15th column from the left) or also called 5A on some periodic tables.
There are no compounds in the periodic table, only elements. There are between 114 and 117 elements (some are awaiting confirmation and a couple remain unnamed).
Gadolinium is in the middle of the lanthanide sequence on the periodic table. (The lanthanide sequence is the skinny part at the bottom that, in some periodic tables, is put off to the side.)
There are 118, but some tables still list only the most common, up to element 111, Rg (roentgenium)Scientists have discovered up to element 118, but four of the 118 have not been named except for their provisional designations (113 = ununtrium, 115 = ununpentium, 117 = ununseptium, 118= ununoctium).
118 elements are in the periodic table of elements; some of them are still unnamed (January 2013).
No. The noble gases are in group 18 in wide form periodic tables and group VIII in some older narrow form tables.
Yes, no, maybe. It depends on the table. Some tables show density, some don't.
Ununoctium is the last element so far. Over some years, scientists might synthesize an element by the name of ununnonium, or number 119.
Almost all "seriously intended" periodic tables also include average Atomic Mass numbers. (Some periodic tables intended for primarily decorative use may not contain any numbers at all.)
On some periodic tables metals have a different color.
