Elements that have their atomic weights in parentheses are unstable and radioactive, some of these will decay in less than a second. The Atomic Mass in the parentheses is the most stable isotope of the element.

Why is the periodic table arranged in order atomic weight?

The periodic table is arranged in order of atomic number, not atomic weight. This is because the properties of elements are determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which is the atomic number. Atomic weight is not used because it can vary due to isotopes of an element.


What is a number in parenthesis on a periodic table?

The number in parenthesis on the periodic table represents the atomic mass of an element. It is the weighted average mass of the isotopes of that element, taking into account the abundance of each isotope.


Why are the elements 94 through 110 in the periodic table whole numbers?

1. All the atomic numbers are whole numbers. 2. If you think to atomic weight of heavy radioactive elements (atomic numbers from 93 to 118) is a rule of IUPAC to indicate in square parenthesis, [], the atomic mass of the most stable or known isotope.

What was periodic law given by mendeleeve?

The periodic law proposed by Dmitri Mendeleev states that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic weights. Mendeleev used this law to create the first periodic table of elements, predicting the properties of missing elements and organizing them based on their atomic weights and chemical properties.
