There are 4 base groups of elements in Chemistry. These are often referred to SPDF groups. SPDF determines the spin of electons in certain 'layers' on an atom. An 'S' block element has 2 electrons spinning in the first shell. Example of this is Helium. Once this shell is filled with electrons, the next heaviest element (lithium) has to have a new shell for its electron to sit in. This is the 'P' block. 6 electrons can sit in the P block. After Calcium in the Periodic Table, you get to the more commen metals where Iron, Copper and Zinc sits along with others. This is the first D block. 10 electrons can sit in the D block. The heavier elements (Lanthanides, for example) are F block elements. The F shell can hold 14 electrons.
With this information in mind, when you look at the periodic table, you can see why it is the shape it is. Look at the first S block elements. Hydrogen and Helium. Notice there only those 2 on the top line. Next down there are 8. (S + P = 2 + 6 = 8).Further down there are 18 elements in the same row. The periodic table often has the F block elements separate, but you will notice there are 14 of them. F block has some funky elements in there like Uranium and Plutonium.
Each column of elements in the periodic table has its own charcteristics, so if you were to class each column as a group instead of a row, you will notice there are 32 groups of elements that exhibit similar properties. For example, Hydrogen and Lithium exhibit similar propertiers (and often used in batteries because of their reactiveness). You will also notice that Helium behaves similar to Xenon, Neon, Radon and Argon. All of which are classed as 'Noble Gasses' because they have full outer shells and do not react with any other element.
In science, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. These elements are in a fixed ratio, and the compound has its own unique properties that are different from the elements it is composed of.
In science class we learn about elements.
In science, compounds are substances made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together in fixed proportions. These compounds have unique properties different from their component elements.
In science, valence refers to the combining power of an element. It determines how many chemical bonds an atom can form with other atoms. Valence is important in understanding and predicting how elements will react with each other to form compounds.
The two main types of substances in science are elements and compounds. Elements are the simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down further. Compounds are made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together.
Science has many more elements than 4. The Earth has 4 elements. Fire, water, earth, air.

Many groups fought, but if the Holocaust were to be split into two groups, they would be the victims and the perpetrators.
Many elements are solid at normal temperatures. If a force is applied to a mass comprising these elements, they are likely to roll over the surface.
Isaac Newton made many discoveries in science, but did not discover any new elements.

Many more elements have been discovered and the discovery that mercury is poisonous.

Zombies have elements of science fiction but more elements of horror. It also has a lot of humor.
It depends on which reaction he is doing - be more specific
