It can be possible to predict whether an atom will form a cation or an anion based on its position on the periodic table. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always ...

A new version of the periodic table of elements has predicted hundreds of highly charged ions that could be used to create the next generation of optical atomic clocks. The periodic table, first ...

A new study lays the groundwork to expand the periodic table with a search for element 120, to be made by slamming electrically charged titanium atoms, or ions, into a californium target.

The periodic table is arranged in rows and columns that group elements with similar chemical properties above and below each other. Element 119 (also known by its placeholder name, Ununennium ...
