Students look more deeply into the structure of the atom and play a game to better understand the relationship between protons, neutrons, electrons, and energy levels in atoms and their location in ...

The iconic chart of elements has served chemistry well for 150 years. But it’s not the only option out there, and scientists are pushing its limits. By Siobhan Roberts When Sir Martyn Poliakoff, a ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady the famous periodic table of elements one atom at a time where it's gone a ...

Whether you are an aspiring Chemistry student or just a normal know-it-all geek, the Periodic Table offers you the simplest way to keep tabs on the atomic elements and their chemical properties. And ...

SINCE the formation of chemical compounds depends on rearrangements among the electrons of the outer shells of the atoms concerned, it may well become the aim of thermochemists to connect changes of ...
