In this periodic table of elements quiz, you have 10 minutes to name as many elements as you can, given only their symbol, atomic weight and the broad group they live in. It's no mean feat, the ...

Four other super-heavy elements — 113, 115, 117 and 118 — have the temporary names of ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium, and ununoctium, and are waiting for their permanent monikers.

Each of the 18 columns in the table is called a group or a family. Elements in the same group share similar properties. And the properties can be assumed based on the location within the group.

On Wednesday, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) announced that the names for the new elements -- with atomic numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118 -- have officially been ...

The updated table could be an effective educational tool for students of all ages. Having something tangible and recognizable attached to each element could help students to more easily memorize ...

The periodic table of the elements, principally created by the Russian chemist, Dmitry Mendeleev (1834-1907), celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. It would be hard to overstate its importance ...

The classic Mendeleev periodic table sorts elements by number of electrons and then in groups that indicate how readily their atoms bond with others. That bondability factor is based on shell ...

The periodic table is a fundamental part of understanding chemistry. Elements define our universe: they are the components and foundation of the substances that we interact with every day.

One in 5 Americans can't name a single element on the Periodic Table. Most Americans surveyed (59 percent) couldn't name more than 10 elements of the 118 that grace the Periodic Table.

In this periodic table of elements quiz, you have 10 minutes to name as many elements as you can, given only their symbol, atomic weight and the broad group they live in.
