For every element, the atomic number, symbol of the element and Atomic Mass is listed. And on most periodic tables, the state of matter.

If you know how, you can distinguish how many protons, neutrons and electrons an element has.

The atomic number (number on top of the letter) is the number of protons, and also the number of electrons. If you subtract the atomic mass (the number on the bottom of the symbol) from the atomic number, you can find out how many neutrons are in that element.

Also, the atomic mass is a representation of how much a mole of that element weighs in grams.

For example, a mole of calcium weighs 40.078 grams.

What information about each element is about contained in its box in the periodic table?

In each element's box on the periodic table, you can typically find its atomic number, chemical symbol, atomic mass, and perhaps its name. It may also include the element's electron configuration and the period and group number to which it belongs.


What information about an element can you find on the periodic table of elements?

Using a periodic table, you can find an element's name, symbol, atomic mass, and atomic number. The atomic number tells you how many protons and electrons are found in the element. By subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, you can find the number of neutrons prevalent (varying in specific isotopes).
