The Periodic Table

Well, I guess a post regarding to the Periodic Table is the best way to anchor the blog. The Periodic Table contains more than a hundred elements. First, let's look at that top single box which has the labels (6, C, 12.01, carbon) An atomic number of 6 means that this element contains 6 protons . (Positively charged located in the nucleus) C is the symbol which is used to represent in chemical reactions and structure drawing. 12.01 is the molar mass of the element. Carbon, of course, is the name of the element.
