About the Periodic Table

The periodic table of elements is the most important reference tool in chemistry. It organizes all 118 known chemical elements by increasing atomic number into 7 periods (rows) and 18 groups (columns). Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Element Categories

Blocks: s, p, d, f

Elements are also classified by the orbital that receives the last electron: the s-block (groups 1–2 + He), p-block (groups 13–18), d-block (transition metals) and f-block (lanthanides and actinides).

How to Read the Periodic Table

Each cell shows the atomic number (top), the element symbol (large, center) and the element name. Click a cell to see the atomic mass, electron configuration, melting and boiling points, valency, common compounds and uses. Use the search box to find any element by name, symbol or atomic number.

Periodic Table FAQ

How many elements are on the periodic table?

There are 118 confirmed elements, from Hydrogen (1) to Oganesson (118). All are officially recognized by IUPAC. Elements 1–94 occur naturally; 95–118 are synthetic.

What is the periodic table?

It is a chart arranging all chemical elements by atomic number, electron configuration and recurring chemical properties. Mendeleev published the first widely accepted version in 1869.

What is 67 on the periodic table?

Element 67 is Holmium (Ho), a rare-earth lanthanide. It has the highest magnetic strength of any natural element and is used in powerful magnets, nuclear control rods and lasers.

How is the periodic table organized?

By atomic number in rows (periods) and columns (groups). Elements in the same group share similar chemical behavior due to identical valence electrons.

Who created the periodic table?

Dmitri Mendeleev (1869) created the first widely accepted version. Henry Moseley (1913) refined it by atomic number instead of atomic mass.

What is a period on the periodic table?

A horizontal row. There are 7 periods, each representing a new electron shell.

How many groups are in the periodic table?

18 groups (vertical columns). Each group has similar valence electrons and chemistry.

How many periods are in the periodic table?

7 periods. Period 1 has 2 elements; periods 6 and 7 each include 32 (with f-block).

Where are metals located on the periodic table?

On the left and center. About 80% of elements are metals — alkali, alkaline earth, transition, post-transition, lanthanides and actinides.

How do you read a periodic table?

Read left to right, top to bottom. Each cell: atomic number (top) → symbol (large) → name. Colors show category. Click a cell for full details.

Can I lick the periodic table?

Safely: carbon, gold, silver, tin, iron. Never lick sodium, potassium, mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, beryllium, uranium, polonium or radium — they are toxic, reactive or radioactive.

What are valence electrons?

Electrons in the outermost shell. They determine an element's chemistry. Group 1 has 1, Group 17 has 7, Noble gases have 8 (or 2 for He).

Is there a periodic table PDF?

Yes — use your browser's Print → Save as PDF option on this page to get a clean printable PDF version with all element details.
