Three: nonmetals, semimetals (or metalloids), and metals.
There are 117 elements in the periodic table. Elements 1-116 and element 118. IMPROVED ANSWER --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 118, but element 117 is so unstable they do not officially count it as being an element on the periodic table yet.
whatever the number of the element on the periodic table is
The largest atom is francium and has 87 protons and 87 electrons.
The elements are listed in the order of how many atoms they have. For example, hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table. Hydrogen is the smallest element, and has one atom.
Chlorine has 17 electrons. It is displayed as atomic number in periodic table.
The periodic table has 7 periods on it.
118 elements

Each element on the periodic table has a specific number of neutrons and will vary for its isotope.
The periodic table of Mendeleev has 18 groups and 7 periods.

No, talcom is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as talcom has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
No, ferrule is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as ferrule has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
No, cornstarch is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as cornstarch has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
No, insulin is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as insulin has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.
Today (June 2013) the periodic table contain 118 chemical elements, natural or artificial.
