  • How is the periodic table organized?
    The periodic table is organized by increasing atomic number, grouping elements with similar properties into columns called groups or families.
  • Which element is a metalloid?
    A metalloid is an element with properties of both metals and nonmetals; examples include silicon, boron, and arsenic.
  • Which element is a metalloid: selenium (Se), germanium (Ge), phosphorus (P), or iodine (I)?
    Germanium (Ge) is a metalloid.
  • Which part of the periodic table would contain an element with a partially filled f sublevel?
    Elements with a partially filled f sublevel are found in the f-block, which includes the lanthanides and actinides.
  • In which block of the periodic table is uranium (U) found: s block, d block, p block, or f block?
    Uranium (U) is found in the f block of the periodic table.
  • Which of the following elements is a metalloid?
    A metalloid is an element such as silicon (Si), boron (B), or arsenic (As).
  • How many elements are on the periodic table?
    There are currently 118 known elements on the periodic table.
  • What is the element Ar classified as in the periodic table?
    Argon (Ar) is classified as a nonmetal, specifically a noble gas.
  • How did Moseley establish a more accurate periodic table?
    Moseley arranged elements by increasing atomic number, which resolved inconsistencies in Mendeleev's arrangement by atomic mass.
  • How many orbital blocks are represented in this periodic table?
    There are four orbital blocks: s, p, d, and f.
  • Which groups on the periodic table contain metalloids?
    Metalloids are found in groups 13 through 17, along the staircase between metals and nonmetals.
  • How are elements organized on the periodic table?
    Elements are organized by increasing atomic number and grouped by similar chemical properties.

    Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number in the modern periodic table.
  • What are the rows of the periodic table called?
    The rows of the periodic table are called periods.
  • Who is credited with creating the first periodic table?
    Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with creating the first periodic table.
  • What property is the periodic table organized by?
    The periodic table is organized by atomic number.
  • Which pure substance can be classified as an element?
