2. The full modern periodic table of all 118 elements (no electron configurations)

Return to How to work out the electron configuration of elements

Pd s–block metals 3d to 6d blocks including the Transition Metals For Periods 4 to 7, note that the 1st (d1) and 10th (d10) block metals are NOT true transition elements, the d2 to d9 elements are true transition metals p–block metals and non-metals

*Horizontal insert in Period 6 of Lanthanide Metal Series (Lanthanides/Lanthanoids block) Z=57 to 71 includes 4f–block series (elements 58–71). Element 57 is the start of the 5d block, interrupted by the 14 4f block elements and then continues with elements 72-80.

*Horizontal insert in Period 7 of the Actinide Series of Metals (Actinides/Actinoids block) Z=89–103 including the 5f–block series (elements 90–103). Element 57 is the start of the 5d block, interrupted by the 15 5f block elements and continues with elements 72-80.

  1. Using 0 to denote the Group number of the Noble Gases is historic i.e. when its valency was considered zero since no compounds were known. However, from 1961 stable compounds of xenon have been synthesised exhibiting up to the maximum possible expected valency of 8 e.g. in XeO4.

  2. * 21Sc to 30Zn can be considered as the top elements in the vertical Groups 3 to 12 (marked as Gp3 -12.

  3. *Therefore Groups 3–7 and 0 can also be numbered as Groups 13 to 18 (marked as *13, *14, *15, *16, *17 and *18) to fit in with the maximum number of vertical columns of elements in periods 4 and 5 (18 elements per period) - these are no official designated group numbers from the IUPAC for advanced level chemistry

  4. I'm afraid this can make things confusing, but there it is, classification is still in progress and the notation Group 1 to 18 seems due to become universal.

  5. Elements up to Z = 118 have now been synthesised, if only a few atoms have been identified !
