The early periods have less elements because they are filling up energy levels which hold only a few electrons. The later periods contain elements with electrons in levels with a greater capacity.

What are the periods in Mendeleev's periodic table?

Because some of the elements were not yet discovered so he left them blank for other elements to be discovered. -bobby corner


Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?

No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.


Why are some of the elements pulled out and shown below the others?

The actinides (mostly f-block elements) and lanthanides (rare earth elements) display properties of their own periods, although having proton counts within the periods 6 and 7. They are not assigned to sequential groups.


Does atoms have mass?

Atoms are matter, and all matter has mass. In that light, any (and every) atom has mass. Different atoms of different elements have different masses, as you would expect. As atomic numbers increase, the Atomic Mass of an atom increases, but we also need to account for the different isotopes of different elements. Isotopes are different "configurations" of the same element where there are different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. This gives rise to different masses for different elements, and also for different isotopes of the elements. There is more to this discussion, and there are other questions here that are already posted and answered. Some of them are linked below.


How are isotops different from regular elements?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Some elements have more than one isotope and some don't. The isotopes of an element are chemically identical, they just differ in mass. There is nothing special about any particular isotope, elements with them are just as 'regular' as the few which don't.


Which periods have the same number of elements?

Period 4 and period 5 of the periodic table have the same number of elements. There are 18 elements in each period. While some elements in period 4 are calcium, iron, and zinc, elements in period 5 are tin, antimony, and iodine.

Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?

No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.

What do you call atoms that have more than 1 type of atom?

Some elements have atoms with differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. These different types are called isotopes.
