About Periodic Table
The periodic table arranges the chemical elements by atomic number, the count of protons in each nucleus. Read across a row and properties shift step by step; read down a column and you find elements that behave alike, such as helium and neon, which resist reacting with anything. The hidden names here range from hydrogen, the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, to metals people have worked for thousands of years: copper, silver, gold, iron. Carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and calcium build living bodies.
Reach for this in a middle school chemistry unit, when students are first learning element names and symbols before they tackle the table's structure.
