Periodic Table

The Periodic Table is a tabular arrangement of the elements in increasing order oftheir atomic numbers, so that elements with similar properties are in the same column. There are 18 columns, called groups, and seven rows, which are called periods, in the modern periodic table. Questions about the Periodic Table: its history and creation, trends, groups/families, and periods are asked in our Periodic Table category.

What is O2N?

I think it might be the chemical formula for 1 oxygen and 2 nitrogen

What has more protons iron or phosphorus?

Iron has more protons than phosphorus. Iron has 26 protons while phosphorus has 15 protons.

How does metallic bonding work?

Much like a covalent bond, the outer electrons are shared between the two atoms. HOWEVER, instead of simply sharing with the immediate neighbor, the valence electrons are shared through out the entire molecule. This allows metals to conduct electricity and to have other properties of metals, like their luster.

Compare metallic and ionic bonding?

Metallic bonding involves the bonding of two metals in the presence of a sea of electrons. These delocalised (or free-floating) electrons are able to flow freely through the metal which means an electrical current can form. Ionic bonding is when a metal and a non-metal transfer electrons between each other (creating two ions - one positive and one negative) until they both have a complete outer shell of electrons (a stable oclet). These ions are attracted to one another (since they are of opposite charge) and bond. There are no delocalised electrons, and the ions cannot move either so a current cannot form in a compound that is ionically bonded.

What does Cn and Uut mean on the periodic table?

Cn stands for Copernicium and Uut stands for Ununtrium. These are the names of two synthetic chemical elements found in the periodic table. Copernicium has the atomic number 112 and Ununtrium has the atomic number 113.

If the distance between W atoms in tungsten metal is 2.74 What is the atomic radius of a tungsten atom in this environment This radius is called the metallic radius?

The metallic radius is typically half the distance between neighboring atoms in a metallic lattice. Therefore, the atomic radius of a tungsten atom in this environment would be half of 2.74 Å, which is 1.37 Å.

What is the shape of lead?

Naturally, Lead can be found in many different forms, depending on where it was extracted from.

What jewelry metal is hidden in a packet of persil?

The jewelry metal hidden in a packet of Persil is likely a small silver or gold charm as part of a promotional giveaway. It is not a substantial piece of jewelry, but rather a small token included in select packages for marketing purposes.

Which group on the Periodic Table of the Elements contains elements that react with oxygen to form compounds with the general formula X2O?

Group 16 on the Periodic Table, also known as the chalcogens, contains elements that react with oxygen to form compounds with the general formula X2O. The elements in this group include oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

Which element has a higher ability than oxygen to attract electrons?

Fluorine is the only element that has a greater ability than oxygen to attract electrons in that period.

Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine all have the same electron affinity as Flourine, with the largest (Astatine) with slightly more.

Oxygen is in the Oxygen group/family, in the 6a group of the periodic table, and the other named elements in this answer are all halogens, in the 7a group.

What does it mean to sort a table?

To sort a table means arranging the rows of the table in a specific order based on certain criteria, such as alphabetical order, numerical order, or dates. This makes it easier to find and analyze data within the table.

How do you tell if a element is a gas solid or liquid on the periodic table?

A periodic table that's big enough will display the "phase" of the element--is it a solid, liquid or gas at 25C? There are only two elements that are liquid at that temperature--bromine and mercury. Eleven elements are gases--hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. Everything else is a solid, or an unknown--the synthetic elements from 104 on don't last long enough to get a handle on their phases.

This is a fun thing: at http://www.ptable.com you will find a periodic table with a temperature slider--set it to, say, 300C and you can see the phases of all elements at that temperature.

What element is a metalloid by location but has properties that suggest it is a light metal?

Boron is a metalloid by location on the periodic table but has properties that suggest it is a light metal. It has a low density and forms compounds with some metallic characteristics.

How do the atomic radius and metallic properties of sodium compare to the atomic radius and metallic properties of phosphorus?

Sodium has a larger atomic radius and exhibits metallic properties due to its tendency to lose an electron and form positively charged ions. Phosphorus has a smaller atomic radius and tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, making it more likely to exhibit non-metallic properties.

Why are single bonds the hardest to break?

Single bonds are the hardest to break because they involve the sharing of only two electrons between two atoms. This sharing allows for a strong bond to form as the electrons are held tightly between the nuclei of the atoms. In contrast, double or triple bonds involve the sharing of more electrons, which results in weaker bonds that are easier to break.

Why the us should not have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan?

Opinions differ on this.

The bomb did kill a lot of civilians. However, it was an order of magnitude fewer than the official US military predictions of the number of Japanese civilians that would have been killed in a conventional invasion, so in a sort of twisted way, the bomb was actually a more humane choice.

Which element from the periodic table is orange?

There are 6 orange colored tabs on the periodic table of elements, the Alkaline Earth Metals, which are Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium. But of course, not all periodic tables have the same color scheme so this may be incorrect.

Why is it extremely unlikely that a new element will be discovered that fits between sodium and magnesium on the periodic table?

What makes each element unique is the number of protons in the nucleus. Sodium has 11 protons and Magnesium has 12 protons. The periodic table is arranged with the number of protons of each element increasing to the right and down the table. For an element to fit between sodium and magnesium it would have to have fewer than 12 protons but more than 11, which is simply not possible.

What metals can you carbon date?

Carbon dating is typically used on organic materials containing carbon, such as wood, bone, cloth, and paper. Metals cannot be directly carbon dated because they do not contain carbon.

What is known as inorganic graphite?

Boron Nitride (BN) is known as Inorganic graphite. The most stable crystalline form is the hexagonal one, also called h-BN, α-BN, or g-BN (graphitic BN). It has a layered structure similar to graphite. Its hexagonal form is the most stable and softest among BN polymorphs, and is therefore used as a lubricant and an additive to cosmetic products. h-BN lubricant is particularly useful when the electrical conductivity or chemical reactivity of graphite (alternative lubricant) would be problematic. Another advantage of h-BN over graphite is that its lubricity does not require water or gas molecules trapped between the layers. Therefore, h-BN lubricants can be used even in vacuum, e.g. in space applications.

What is Mercury volatalization?

mercury, like all other substances have what is called a "vapour pressure". A good way to understand what is meant by this is to think about a can of butane, or CNG or the liquid inside your cigarette lighter. Now, while trapped inside that canister, it remains liquid. Why? Because of the pressure the canister is under, or the pressure that the gas of that liquid in the canister is under. Now, if the canister is allowed to leak slightly, the pressure inside the canister is higher than outside (at sea level, say) and the gas escapes, lowering the pressure pushing down on that liquid and it boils (which is really just the liquid turning into a gas because the molecules of the liquid are too tightly packed and want to be free from "banging into each other". Now, at sea level, you can boils liquid mercury and you will get mercury vapour that is poisonous and will condense pretty quickly onto solid object. But, a small portion of it will still be present in the air because of its vapour pressure-the amount is very small, but it exists! it is because of vapour pressure that Hg is easily absorbed into the lungs! Look up vapour pressure for a better explanation....

Did Japanese think the atomic bomb was supernatural?

No, the Japanese did not think the atomic bomb was supernatural. They were aware of its devastating power and understood it as a powerful and destructive man-made weapon used by the United States during World War II.

Why did the US use Atomic bombs?

The US used atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II to bring a swift end to the war against Japan and avoid a prolonged and costly invasion of the Japanese mainland. The bombings were intended to show the devastating power of nuclear weapons and to force Japan to surrender unconditionally.

What do elements in group 18 have in common?

They all have a fully filled up outer valence electron shell: noble gases, mono atomic, inert.

(2 for Helium, 8 for all others; Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon)

the same number of valence electrons

full octets

the same number of electrons needed to fill thier octet

Does acidity affect voltage?

Acidity is the potential for Hydrogen ions in a solution Voltage is the electrical potential difference. These have nothing to do with each other per se. They can be involved in a battery or electrochemical reaction....
