An international research team gained new insights into the chemical properties of the superheavy element flerovium—element 114—at the accelerator facilities of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

The periodic table arranges all the chemical elements in a specific way. Patterns are visible in the way that elements behave, and this allows us to make predictions about other elements. Gethin: And ...

Metals mostly occur as compounds in rocks and minerals and must be extracted before they can be used. The method used to extract the pure metal depends on its position in the reactivity series. Metals ...

Metals are good conductor of heat and electricity; they are hard, fusible, ductile etc. About 91 elements in the periodic table out of 118 are metals rest are non-metals and metalloids. Metals are ...

Researchers from Osaka University are better understanding the chemistry of superheavy elements, which will help explain important discrepancies in the periodic table and may eventually lead to the ...

I entered the Yale Medical Historical Library with the smell of tert-butyl methyl ether still lingering, phantom-like, from the organic chemistry lab I had just left. Tucked away in my lab notebook ...
