Periodic table a chart showing all the elements arranged in columns in such a way that all the elements in a given column exhibit similar chemical properties. 

In a room where chemistry is taught or practiced, a chart called the periodic table is almost certain to be found hanging on the wall. Recall that this chart shows all the known elements and provides a good deal of information about each. As your knowledge of chemistry increases, the periodic table will become more and more useful to you. In this section we will remind you about its fundamental aspects. 

Chromium is found in the center of the periodic table, a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. Elements in Groups 3 through 12 are known as the transition metals. These elements all have similar physical and chemical properties. They have a bright, shiny surface and high melting points. 

Actinium is the third element in Row 7 of the periodic table, a chart that shows how the chemical elements are related to each other. Some chemists place it in Group 3 (IIIB), with scandium and yttrium. Other chemists call it the first member of the actinoids. The actinoids are the 15 elements that make up Row 7 of the periodic table after radium. They have atomic numbers from 89 to 103 and are all radioactive. A radioactive atom is unstable and tends to throw off particles and emit energy in order to become stable. Either way of classifying actinium is acceptable to most chemists. 

Almost all chemistry classrooms have a chart called the periodic table hanging on the wall. It shows all the chemical elements and contains a great deal of useful information about them. As we continue our study of chemistry, we will learn much more about the periodic table. For now let s begin with the basics. 

In the period between 1940 and 1961, 11 transuranium elements were discovered by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley (UCB). The term transuranium element refers to elements beyond uranium (atomic numbers greater than 92) in the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. All transuranium elements are unstable or radioactive. Radioactive elements emit energy or particles as they decay into more stable atoms. One of these elements was berkelium. 

Iron is a transition metal. The transition metals are the elements that make up Groups 3 through 12 in the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how elements are related to one another. The transition metals are typical metals in that they tend to be bright, shiny, silvery solids. They all tend to conduct heat and electricity well. And they usually have high melting points. 

Ytterbium belongs to the lanthanoid family. The lanthanoids are found in Row 6 of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how the chemical elements are related to each other. The lanthanoids are also known as rare earth elements. The name suggests that the lanthanoids do not occur commonly in the earth. In fact, that is not correct. They are not all that uncommon. The name rare earth arose because the elements were once difficult to separate from each other. With modern techniques, this separation can be done much more easily.
