Periodic Table


⏺. Periodic table is the tabular representation of chemical elements.
⏺. The periodic table was introduced by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.
⏺. At present there're 118 found and they are presented in the periodic table as follows.

Periodic Table

⏺. By studying the periodic table we can identify following properties such as atomic number, mass number,
electronic configuration, electronegetivity, first ionization energy etc... of the chemical elemnts clearly.

Atomic Number (Z)

⏺. Atomic number is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom.
⏺. The standard symbol used to represent atomic number is Z.

Mass Number (A)

⏺. Mass Number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom.
⏺. The standard symbol used to represent mass number is A.

Electronic Configuration

⏺. Electronic Configuration of an atom is how the electrons of an atom is located around the nucleus.

Melting Point

⏺. Melting Point of an element is the temperature at which it converts into liquid state from solid state.

Boiling Point

⏺. Boiling Point of an element is the temperature at which it converts into gaseous state from liquid state.

Electronegativity

⏺. Electronegativity is the ability of an element to attract the electrones of a bond toward itself when it is bonded to an atom of another element.
⏺. As per the Pauling scale, fluorine is the element with highest electronegativity.

First Ionization Energy

⏺. First ionization energy of an element is the minimum energy that should be supplied to an atom in the gaseous state to remove an electron to form a unipositive gaseous ion.

⏺. The elements of periodic table are listed in the following table.
