In 1800, the element sulfur was thought to be identical to the element selenium, which is directly above it in the Periodic Table. This was due to their similar chemical properties and physical appearances. It wasn't until the 19th century that their distinct differences were recognized through further scientific research and experimentation.

How did plutonium get its name?

What defines the atomic number of each element?

The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It is a unique characteristic of each element and defines its place on the periodic table. The atomic number also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
