PERIODIC TABLE
What is the Periodic Table?
The Periodic Table represents our planet's known elements. There are 118
elements represented on the periodic table. Out of the 118 elements represented,
approximately 90 make up the matter on our planet. Out of the 90 elements,
approximately 25 are found in living things. The elements are organized on the
table according to their chemical properties.
What are elements?
Elements are made up of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down into a
smaller substance. Some common elements found on the table are oxygen,
aluminum, iron, and calcium.
Elements we benefit from in everyday life
oxygen - found in the air we breathe.
aluminum - used in cookware and to make beverage containers.
iron - used for construction materials, cars, and even in vitamins.
calcium - found in the bones in our bodies.
How is the Periodic Table organized?
The Periodic Table is organized into periods and groups.
PERIODS
The periods represent the rows (left
to right).
GROUPS
The groups represent the columns
(up and down).
