A table with common ionic charges can also help determine oxidation states and chemical reactions. For example, knowing that iron can have a +2 or +3 charge can help predict the formation of compounds like FeO (iron(II) oxide) or Fe2O3(iron(III) oxide). Based on the common charges,...
The alkaline earth metals representthe second columnon the periodic table. Its six elements extend from beryllium (Be) to radium (Ra). These metals are named for forming basic solutions when put into water. They tend to form cations with a positive two charge and bond ionically. What are l...
so the periodic table may never be complete. These manmade elements are created using particle accelerators thatsmash atoms and subatomic particles together, generating nuclei with extra protons and neutrons. However, these ultra-heavy elements are highly unstable and difficult...
Size of the Elements on the Periodic Table Periodic table showing the relative sizes of the elements based on atomic radius data.Todd Helmenstine This special periodic table shows the relative size of atoms of periodic table elements based on atomic radius data. Each atom is shown relative to t...

Many references give table of atomic radii. Sometimes in text books and other sources, the rather vague term "atomic radius" is not defined and in such cases it is therefore not clear what the values actually mean. The values given here for atomic radius are calculated values using methods ...
Tungsten is the foundational metal of my periodic table. The book Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks got me started thinking about building a table. The first sample listed below (an eleven pound cylinder of tungsten) was one of the first samples I collected that really wowed me and other, and...

When we were children, we used to think that chemistry was crazy hard. Well, we were one hundred percent right. Chemical equations, periodic table, endless formulas, valences and lord knows what else make this particular subject really, really interesting but never boring. ...
We calculated the vibrational frequencies of the vibrational modes at TS1a, TS1b, and TS2 as shown in Supplementary Table 1, and evaluated W‡ as a function of E−E0. The results are plotted in Fig. 5, showing that W‡ at TS1a and TS1b increases more rapidly than W‡ at ...
