The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

This ACS/NSF colloquium was held on Wednesday, November 20 at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. The event was generously supported by a grant (CHE-1937824) from the National Science ...

The periodic table is part of the bedrock of chemistry education. Students use it to look up values like an element’s atomic mass, and it serves as a visual reference for the trends in physical ...

On the far right side of the periodic table, just beneath oxygen, sits a lesser-known group of elements called the chalcogens ...

Researchers used a particle accelerator and co-precipitation to study the chemical reactivity of single rutherfordium atoms. Such experiments will continue the advancement of relativistic chemistry ...

The periodic table stares down from the walls of just about every chemistry lab. The credit for its creation generally goes to Dimitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist who in 1869 wrote out the known ...

The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular method of displaying the chemical elements, first devised in 1869 by the Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev. Mendeleev intended the table to ...

This wasn’t the first time a jingle has been written about the elements. In fact, a similar song was written in 1959 by Tom Lehrer. But, apart from being fun study tools, this year we have even more ...

Tech blog The Beacon recently posted an interesting twist on the periodic table. If you weren't asleep in high school chemistry, you'll recall the periodic table as a colorful chart that your teacher ...
