( Note: When discussing periodic table groups, semiconductor physicists always use an older notation, not the current IUPAC group notation.

In the old IUPAC system the letters A and B were designated to the left ( A ) and right ( B ) part of the table, while in the CAS system the letters A and B were designated to main group elements ( A ) and transition elements ( B ).

Cardiolipin ( IUPAC name " 1, 3-bis ( sn-3 ’- phosphatidyl )- sn-glycerol ") is an important component of the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it constitutes about 20 % of the total lipid composition.

The discovery of livermorium was recognized by JWG of IUPAC on 1 June 2011, along with that of flerovium.

The alkali metals are a group of chemical elements in the periodic table with very similar properties: they are all shiny, soft, silvery, highly reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure and readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge + 1.

This group lies in the s-block of the periodic table as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s-orbital.

The alkali metals provide the best example of group trends in properties in the periodic table, with elements exhibiting well-characterized homologous behaviour.

The conventional symbol Z comes from the German word meaning number / numeral / figure, which prior to the modern synthesis of ideas from chemistry and physics, merely denoted an element's numerical place in the periodic table.

Loosely speaking, the existence of a periodic table creates an ordering for the elements.

A simple numbering based on periodic table position was never entirely satisfactory.

Besides iodine and tellurium, later several other pairs of elements ( such as argon and potassium, cobalt and nickel ) were known to have nearly identical or reversed atomic weights, leaving their placement in the periodic table by chemical properties to be in violation of known physical properties.

Nevertheless, in spite of Rutherford's estimation that gold had a central charge of about 100 ( but was element Z = 79 on the periodic table ), a month after Rutherford's paper appeared, Antonius van den Broek first formally suggested that the central charge and number of electrons in an atom was exactly equal to its place in the periodic table ( also known as element number, atomic number, and symbolized Z ).

However, prior to 1915, the word Zahl ( simply number ) was used for an element's assigned number in the periodic table.

* History of the periodic table

It is in group 18 ( noble gases ) of the periodic table.

Actinium gave the name to the actinide series, a group of 15 similar elements between actinium and lawrencium in the periodic table.

The group of elements is more diverse than the lanthanides and therefore it was not until 1945 that Glenn T. Seaborg proposed the most significant change to Mendeleev's periodic table, by introducing the actinides.

This transuranic element of the actinide series is located in the periodic table below the lanthanide element europium, and thus by analogy was named after another continent, America.

At the time, the periodic table had been restructured by Seaborg to its present layout, containing the actinide row below the lanthanide one.

Among the first 101 elements in the periodic table, only francium is less stable.

Dmitri Mendeleev | Mendeleev's first periodic table ( 1869 )

In 1869, building upon earlier discoveries by such scientists as Lavoisier, Dmitri Mendeleev published the first functional periodic table.

The table itself is a visual representation of the periodic law, which states that certain chemical properties of elements repeat periodically when arranged by atomic number.

While experimenting with the products of radioactive decay, in 1913 radiochemist Frederick Soddy discovered that there appeared to be more than one type of atom at each position on the periodic table.

These results refined Ernest Rutherford's and Antonius Van den Broek's model, which proposed that the atom contains in its nucleus a number of positive nuclear charges that is equal to its ( atomic ) number in the periodic table.

At this stage, it wasn't clear what atoms were although they could be described and classified by their properties ( in bulk ) in a periodic table.

Nevertheless, two years later, his student, Robert Berger, constructed a set of some 20, 000 square tiles ( now called Wang tiles ), which can tile the plane but not in a periodic fashion.

* SRB: Spectral-type ( M, C, S or Me, Ce, Se ) giants with poorly defined periodicity ( mean cycles in the range of 20 to 2300 days ) or with alternating intervals of periodic and slow irregular changes.

In every decade since his death, a Bolan greatest hits compilation has placed in the top 20 UK albums and periodic boosts in sales have come via cover versions from artists inspired by Bolan, including Morrissey and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

They are able to measure the abundance and distribution of about 20 primary elements of the periodic table, including silicon, oxygen, iron, magnesium, potassium, aluminum, calcium, sulfur, and carbon.

Zero level drift was checked by periodic reorientation of the sensors until May 20, 1969, when the flipper mechanism failed.

Patients also display involuntary limb movements that occur at periodic intervals anywhere from 20 – 40 seconds apart.

The idea of the direct correlation of the charge of the atom nucleus and the periodic table was contained in his paper published in Nature on July 20, 1911, just one month after Rutherford published the results of his experiments that showed the existence of a small charged nucleus in an atom ( see Rutherford model ).
