These elements tend to come from two specific areas of the periodic table: the d-block metals like cobalt, nickel, and iron, and the f-block actinides lanthanides, which include the rare-earth ...

Thanks to challenges involved in producing and safely containing the heavy element, few chemists have had the privilege of ...

This is the second part of a three-part series written by Carolyn Krause. Many of the elements were synthesized using an Oak ...

For example, the element symbol for iron is Fe, from the latin word ferrum for iron. On the periodic table, metals are found on the left and in the middle, and non-metals are on the right.

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

Scientists have discovered 'berkelocene,' the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy element berkelium. The breakthrough disrupts long-held theories about the chemistry ...

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of Chemical Elements in 1869. In celebration, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural ...
