Explore Periodic Table of Elements with School My Kids

The periodic table is a chart that organizes all the known elements in the universe based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. It's like a map of the building blocks of matter, revealing their secrets through numbers and symbols. Each element has its own unique square on the table, containing its name, symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass.

Elements are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups) based on their atomic number. As you move across a period, the elements become more and more nonmetallic. As you move down a group, the elements become more and more metallic. The periodic table also reveals repeating patterns in the properties of the elements, such as their reactivity and tendency to form bonds with other elements.

The periodic table is not just a static chart; it's a living document that is constantly being updated as new elements are discovered. It's a powerful tool that is used by scientists and chemists all over the world to understand the world around us.
