Atomic weight values are from Wieser, M,E, and Coplen.T.B, PureAppl. Ckem. 83, 359,2011, 

See Standard Atomic Weights (2009) in Sec, 1 for an explanation of the lUPAC notation for atomic weight ranges. For radioactive elements that do not occur in nature, the mass number of the most stable isotope currently known is given in parentheses. Isotopes of elements 113,115,117, and 118 have been reported, but element names have not been adopted,

By this time, the Periodic Table of elements was well developed, although it was considered a function of the atomic mass rather than atomic number. Before the discovery of radioactivity, it had been estabUshed that each natural element had a unique mass thus it was assumed that each element was made up of only one type of atom. Some of the radioactivities found in both the uranium and thorium decays had similar chemical properties, but because these had different half-Hves it was assumed that there were different elements. It became clear, however, that if all the different radioactivities from uranium and thorium were separate elements, there would be too many to fit into the Periodic Table. 

In 1938 Niels Bohr had brought the astounding news from Europe that the radiochemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in Berlin had conclusively demonstrated that one of the products of the bom-bardmeiit of uranium by neutrons was barium, with atomic number 56, in the middle of the periodic table of elements. He also announced that in Stockholm Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch had proposed a theory to explain what they called nuclear fission, the splitting of a uranium nucleus under neutron bombardment into two pieces, each with a mass roughly equal to half the mass of the uranium nucleus. The products of Fermi s neutron bombardment of uranium back in Rome had therefore not been transuranic elements, but radioactive isotopes of known elements from the middle of the periodic table.

In practice one can differentiate between two kinds of donors, the resulting donor-acceptor bonds can be largely ionic (class I) or covalent (class II) [16]. Donors of the first type (class I) stem from the first row of the periodic table of elements, such as amines, ethers, in detail structures in which the Lewis basis centre possessing the non-bonding lone pair is strong electronegative. Donors of the second type are constituted from elements of the second row of the periodic table of elements, such as phosphines, thioethers, etc. (class II). These Lewis donors are... 

Figure 4.3 Above is the periodic table of elements. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.

Most metals, for which compounds are carcinogenic, are from IV group of Periodic Table of Elements. In biological systems, carcinogenic metals can form stable complexes and biological availability of these complexes determines the carcinogenic potential of various metal compounds. 

Named by a French chemist, Lavoisier, hydrogen (H) is the first chemical element of the periodic table of elements with an atomic number of one. At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a colourless, tasteless, odourless and easily flammable gas. With its atomic mass of 1.00797 g/mol, hydrogen is the lightest element. The British scientist, Henry Cavendish, was the first to identify H as a distinct element in 1766, publishing precise values for its specific weight and density (NHA, 2007). 

Since 1975, porphyrin complexes of all metals of the periodic table of elements are known, with the exception of some actinoids (20-22). The most fascinating property of all metalloporphyrins is their intense color porphyrlike in the solid state, brick-red, pinkish red, olive-green, or brown in dilute solutions. The absorption spectra vary with the metal, the porphyrin, and the axial ligand many attempts to rationalize the different types of spectra have been undertaken (20-22, 24, 42-48). As the. .periodic table of metalloporphyrins (24) is now nearly complete, a new approach... 

About 100 different kinds of atoms make up all kinds of matter, and they are classified in a table—the Periodic Table of Elements—according to their construction. The center of any atom is a nucleus containing protons and neutrons. The protons have a positive charge and the neutrons are neutral so the nucleus is positively charged. Electrons, equal in number but opposite in charge to the protons, move around the nucleus in orbits. You might think of an atom like a solar system. The nucleus acts like the sun the electrons orbit the nucleus like the planets circle the sun. 

Isotrope, Having the same atomic number (and position in the Periodic Table of Elements) but different masses. The difference is due to extra neutrons in the nucleus. For example hydrogen, one of three isotopes, has an atomic number of 1 and a mass of 1 the naturally occurring deuterium has a mass of 2 because it has an extra neutron in its nucleus the artificially produced tritium has another neutron for a mass of three. All three have one proton and electron and, hence, an atomic number of 1. 

It will even spontaneously catch fire in air because of the water vapor in air. Like other elements in its group in the periodic table of elements, it has one lone electron in its outermost shell. You would think that any element that will set water on fire would react with anything. Strange as it sounds, rubidium is sometimes stored in kerosene, which is quite flammable. But kerosene doesn t react with rubidium because it doesn t want that extra electron in the outer shell. 

Polonium is more metallic in its properties than the elements above it in group 16. It is the only element in group 16 that is naturally radioactive. It is in a position on the periodic table of elements where it can be a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal. It is more often considered a metal because of its electrical conductivity decreases with an increase in temperature. 

The periodic table of elements gives order to the bewildering variety of substances found on Earth. People have been working with various materials for a long time, but the development of new substances was a slow and fortuitous process. About 30,000 years ago, the first ceramic appeared.

The energy release of nuclear fission is tied to the fact that the heaviest nuclei have about 0.1 percent more mass per nucleon than nuclei near the middle of the periodic table of elements. What would be the effect on energy release if the 0.1 percent figure were instead 1 percent ... 

Plutonium has a short half-life (24,360 years), so any plutonium initially in Earth s crust has long since decayed. The same is true for any heavier elements with even shorter half-lives from which plutonium might originate. Trace amounts of plutonium can occur naturally in U-238 concentrations, however, as a result of neutron capture, where U-238 becomes U-239 and after beta emission becomes Np-239 and after further beta emission becomes Pu-239. (There are elements in Earth s crust with half-lives even shorter than plutonium s, but these are the products of uranium decay—between uranium and lead in the periodic table of elements.)...
