A few elements past iron can form in the star by neutron capture and beta decay. However the majority can only be formed by the blast shockwave of a supernova, which can form elements significantly beyond Uranium.

Titanium is in period 4 and column 4 of a wide form periodic table. The elements most nearly similar to it chemically are zirconium and hafnium, the next heavier elements in the same column.


Where is cation on the periodic table?

Periodic table consists of elements not cations. However group 1 and group 2 elements (left side of the periodic table) are elements which will form cations easily.


How are elements organized?

atomic number Chemical elements are organized in the form of the periodic table of Mendeleev, in groups and periods.

What are some ways that elements are arranged on the periodic table of elements?

Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table in the increasing order of atomic masses and repeating periodic properties. In the modern long-form of periodic table, the elements are arranged in the increasing order of atomic number and repeating periodic properties.


What number is mathane on the periodic table?

First of all it is a compound made of different elements, hence it cannot exist in periodic table. Periodic table is composed only of pure elements not in any combined form.

What is the relationship between the periodic table and a supernova?

The elements on the periodic table were created by stars through nuclear fusion. We use the term stellar nucleosynthesis to describe what stars are doing through fusion. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium, and then start making heavier elements by a different fusion process. But stars can only make elements up through iron. They can't make the heavier elements. Enter the supernova. A supernova is that "big blast" that occurs at the end of the life of some stars. In a supernova, the trans-iron elements are formed. That is, all the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova. Because the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova, we can say that there is a relationship between the supernova and the periodic table of elements.


Why long form of periodic table is superior than Mendeleev periodic table?

The long form of periodic table has the advantage to present all chemical elements in order of the atomic number; but this form is not usual because is not adequate for printing.
