Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table. -

The horizontal broken line labeled "0.02%" indicates the peak height for a group which would have that intensity relative to the total alpha particles. It is seen that the general background is considerably higher than this value, and, in fact, some of the peaks which are sketched in are hardly justifi- able in view of the scatter of the data. The bottom part of Figure 8 shows the same part of the spectrum taken under much improved conditions, as shown by the line illustrating the peak height of 0.02 per cent. All of the peaks are seen much more clearly and, in addition, one or two have showed up which were completely ob- scured under the other conditions. The principal change in technique which re- sulted in this improvement consisted of lining the interior of the spectrograph with very-low-atomic-number material which has the desirable effect of reducing low- angle scattering of alpha particles. In summary, we may say that during the past few years very important ad- vances in theory, as well as in experimental technique, are beginning to result in a systematic assignment of nuclear spectroscopic states and an interpretation of these states in terms of some detailed knowledge of nuclear structure. In this discussion, attention has been confined to one aspect of a very broad problem, namely, that having to do with spectroscopic states in the heavy-element region deduced from the alpha-decay process. There are many other experimental methods which are brought to bear on this problem, some of which have been touched upon in a peripheral sense in this discussion and others not mentioned at all. -

Main Attributes of Nuclides Presented in This Book
Appendix A Main Attributes of Nuclides Presented in This Book Data given in TableA.1 can be used to determine the various decay energies for the specific radioactive decay examples as well as for the nuclear activation examples presented in this book. M stands for the nuclear rest mass; M stands for the atomic rest mass. The data were obtained from the NIST and are based on CODATA 2010 as follows: 1. Data for atomic masses M are given in atomic mass constants u and were obtained from the NIST at: (http://www.physics.nist.gov/pml/data/comp.cfm). 2. Rest mass of proton mp, neutron mn, electron me, and of the atomic mass constant u are from the NIST (http://www.physics.nist.gov/cuu/constants/index. html) as follows: −27 2 mp = 1.672 621 777×10 kg = 1.007 276 467 u = 938.272 046 MeV/c (A.1) −27 2 mn = 1.674 927 351×10 kg = 1.008 664 916 u = 939.565 379 MeV/c (A.2) −31 −4 2 me = 9.109 382 91×10 kg = 5.485 799 095×10 u = 0.510 998 928 MeV/c (A.3) − 1u= 1.660 538 922×10 27 kg = 931.494 060 MeV/c2 (A.4) 3. For a given nuclide, its nuclear rest energy was determined by subtracting the 2 rest energy of all atomic orbital electrons (Zmec ) from the atomic rest energy M(u)c2 as follows 2 2 2 Mc = M(u)c − Zmec = M(u) × 931.494 060 MeV/u − Z × 0.510 999 MeV. -
