Elements can be distingushed apart by the amount of sub-atomic particles in one atom of that element. Every element has a differemt amount of electrons, so you can count the amount of electrons to identify an element. You can also look at the amount of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every element has a different amount of these, too.

What are not typically included in the periodic table?

The periodic table typically does not include isotopes, which are variants of elements with differing neutron counts. Additionally, it does not represent compounds or molecules, as it focuses solely on individual chemical elements. Other exclusions are transient or synthetic elements that may not have stable or well-defined properties, and certain rare or unstable isotopes that are not commonly encountered in nature. Finally, physical states or allotropes of elements are also not indicated in the standard periodic table format.
