Scientists have found a way to create superheavy elements, leading to groundbreaking possibilities in chemistry.

Scientists might be close to producing a new, incredibly heavy element called "element 120." This element would be so massive that it would need a new row on the periodic table, which is the chart ...

The first periodic table to become generally accepted was that of the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869: he formulated the periodic law as a dependence of chemical properties on atomic mass.

Can France claim the first periodic table? Probably not, but a French Geology Professor ... de Chancourtois was the first to use a periodic arrangement of all of the known elements, showing that ...

Mrs Roberts: Well, the modern periodic table shows us all of the elements arranged in rows, which are called periods. It has changed a lot over the years as we've learned more and more about atoms.
