This process happened six times, turning element 113 into element 111, then 109, 107, 105, 103 and finally, element 101, Mendelevium (also a synthetic element).

In the periodic table of elements there is one golden rule for carbon, oxygen and other light elements: Under high pressures, they have similar structures to heavier elements in the same group of ...

More specifically, carbon-based chemistry terms. Carbon settled into a tough spot on the periodic table. To feel satisfied and content, elements need full "sets" of electrons in their outer shell.

Looking at the periodic table, most of us have no issues identifying the use of certain elements. Sodium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and others are no-brainers but what about the less talked about ...

Here’s how it works. A picture of how the revised entry for carbon will look on the periodic table.(Image credit: T. B. Coplen (U.S. Geological Survey).) ...

Milestone in chemical studies of superheavy elements: Superheavy element and carbon atom bonded for first time Date: September 19, 2014 Source: Universität Mainz Summary: A chemical bond between ...

Elitist Beryllium, Know-It-All Carbon, and Other Personified Ways to Learn the Periodic Table The elements that make up our bodies and the world around us imagined as superheroes. By Maria Popova ...

Because tin resides in the same column of the periodic table of the chemical elements as carbon, though, it should therefore exhibit similar chemical properties and presumably follow the same rules.

Columns in the periodic table are called groups or families. Elements within the same group share similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons (electrons in the ...

In contrast to more familiar elements like carbon, gold and tin, the new ones are short-lived. Atoms of 114 disintegrate within a few seconds, while 116 disappears in just a fraction of a second ...
