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.
It was thought to be a gas but may be a solid under normal conditions
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.
It is the element first created in 2009 Ununseptium, (Uus), with the atomic number of 117 and a standard atomic weight thought to be 294. The name, which simply refers to its atomic number, is a temporary one as at the time of posting this reply (end 2015)..
An alkaline element in the ground state typically has 1 or 2 electrons in its valence shell. This is because alkaline elements belong to group 1 or 2 of the periodic table, which corresponds to 1 or 2 valence electrons.
Meitnerium is a synthetic element, so it does not naturally occur in compounds in the environment. However, it could potentially form compounds with elements like oxygen, fluorine, or chlorine due to its position in the periodic table. These compounds would be highly unstable and only exist in a laboratory setting.
tantalum atomic number 73
yes, it is an element. You can check it in the periodic table.
The periodic table of the elements is not a physical table, it is a concept. It is made out of thought.
Tantalum.
Lothar Meyer thought about the periodic table before Dmitri mendleev. However, his work was not published until after the work of Mendleev.
Asssuming the Universe began with the Big Bang, it is thought that the first element formed, by colliding quarks and other sub-atomic particles, was hydrogen - the lightest of all the elements.
how belief in the four element concept delayed the advancement of scientific thought in chemistry
It was thought to be a gas but may be a solid under normal conditions
the return to "classical" thought

suggested that element 94, being the next element in the series, be named for what was then considered the next planet, Pluto.[4][note 2] Seaborg originally considered the name "plutium", but later thought that it did not sound as good as "plutonium."[33] He chose the letters "Pu" as a joke, which passed without notice into the periodic table.[note 3] Alternate names considered by Seaborg and others were "ultimium" or "extremium" because of the now-discredited belief that they had found the last possible element on the periodic table.[34] suggested that element 94, being the next element in the series, be named for what was then considered the next planet, Pluto.[4][note 2] Seaborg originally considered the name "plutium", but later thought that it did not sound as good as "plutonium."[33] He chose the letters "Pu" as a joke, which passed without notice into the periodic table.[note 3] Alternate names considered by Seaborg and others were "ultimium" or "extremium" because of the now-discredited belief that they had found the last possible element on the periodic table.[34]
