1. Periodic Table Evan Luton Web Elements

2. Uranium Atomic symbol is U Atomic number is 92 Atomic mass is 238.02 Half life of Uranium-238 is 4.47 billion years Uranium gives interesting yellow and green colors and fluorescence effects when included to glass.

3. Neon Obtained as a byproduct from the liquefaction and separation of air Discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers in 1898 Discovered shortly after krypton

4. Iron Iron filings salts cause sparks in flames Smelted iron artifacts have been identified from around 3000 B.C. Iron is a relatively abundant element in the universe It is found in the sun and many types of stars in considerable quantity

5. Zinc Zinc-deficient animals require 50% more food to gain the same weight of an animal supplied with normal amounts of zinc Plating thin layers of zinc on to iron or steel is known as galvanizing and helps to protect the iron from corrosion Zinc is a bluish-white, lustrous metal

6. Radium Emits α (alpha) β (beta) and γ (gamma) rays Pure metallic radium is brilliant white when freshly prepared, but blackens on exposure to air Radium conveys a carmine red color to a flame

7. Xenon Xenon is a "noble" gas present in the atmosphere Xenon is present in the Martian atmosphere Before 1962, it was generally assumed that xenon and other noble gases were unable to form compounds

8. Vanadium Pure vanadium is a greyish silvery metal, and is soft and spongy Industrially, most vanadium produced is used as an additive to improve steels The discovery of vanadium happened "twice".

9. Manganese Manganese metal is gray-white, resembling iron, but is harder The metal is reactive chemically, and decomposes cold water slowly Manganese is widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom Manganese is present in quantity the floor of oceans

10. Iridium Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum together make up a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals The name iridium is appropriate, for its salts are highly colored Iridium is white, similar to platinum, but with a slight yellowish cast

11. Yttrium Yttrium has a silvery-metallic luster Yttrium turnings ignite in air Yttrium is found in most rare-earth minerals Moon rocks contain yttrium and yttrium is used as a "phosphor" to produce the red color in television screens

12. Argon Argon is a colorless and odorless gas present to a very small extent in the atmosphere Argon is very inert and is not known to form true chemical compounds It makes a good atmosphere for working with air-sensitive materials since it is heavier than air

13. Caesium Caesium is known as cesium in the USA It is silvery gold, soft, and ductile It is the most electropositive and most alkaline element Caesium, gallium, and mercury are the only three metals that are liquid at or around room temperature

14. Titanium Titanium is a lustrous, white metal when pure Titanium minerals are quite common The metal has a low density, good strength, is easily fabricated, and has excellent corrosion resistance The metal burns in air and is the only element that burns in nitrogen

15. Nitrogen Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere The atmosphere of Mars contains less than 3% nitrogen When nitrogen is heated, it combines directly with magnesium, lithium, or calcium

16. Ytterbium Ytterbium has a bright silvery luster, is soft, malleable, and spongy While itis fairly stable, it should be kept in closed containers to protect it from air and moisture Ytterbium is readily attacked and dissolved by mineral acids and reacts slowly with water

17. Barium Barium is a metallic element, soft, and when pure is silvery white like lead The metal oxidizes very easily and it reacts with water or alcohol Barium is one of the alkaline-earth metals Small amounts of barium compounds are used in paints and glasses

18. Helium Helium is one of the noble gases Helium gas is an unreactive, colorless, and odorless monoatomic gas Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen Helium is used in lighter than air balloons and while heavier than hydrogen, is far safer since helium does not burn

19. Tantalum Tantalum is a greyish silver, heavy, and very hard metal When pure, it is elastic and can be drawn into fine wire Tantalum is almost completely immune to chemical attack at temperatures below 150°C The element has a melting point exceeded only by tungsten and rhenium.

20. Bohrium Bohrium is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all The German discoverers at GSI proposed the name Nielsbohrium IUPAC is happy to name an element after Bohr but suggest bohrium on the grounds that the first name of a person does not appear in the names of any other element named after a person

21. Gold Most metals are metallic grey or silvery white whereas gold is characteristically a metallic yellow color, in other words gold-colored Small amounts of other metals alloyed with gold change the color as well as mechanical properties such as hardnes White gold for jewelry is formed by mixing palladium, silver, or nickel with gold, although the result is green gold with certain proportions of silvers

22. Potassium Potassium is a metal and is the seventh most abundant and makes up about 1.5 % by weight of the earth's crust Potassium is an essential constituent for plant growth and it is found in most soils It is also a vital element in the human diet Potassium is never found free in nature, but is obtained by electrolysis of the chloride

23. Nobelium Nobelium is a radioactive "rare earth metal" named after Alfred Nobel who discovered dynamite A team working in Stockholm reported in 1957 an isotope whose atomic number is 102 An authenticated discovery of nobelium was made in 1958 by Seaborg and others at Berkeley, California, USA

24. Tungsten Pure tungsten is a steel-gray to tin-white metal Tungsten has the highest melting point and lowest vapor pressure of all metals, and at temperatures over 1650°C has the highest tensile strength The metal oxidizes in air and must be protected at elevated temperatures

25. Beryllium It is a metal and has a high melting point At ordinary temperatures, beryllium resists oxidation in air Beryllium compounds are very toxic Its ability to scratch glass is probably due to the formation of a thin layer of the oxide Its chemistry is dominated by its tendency to lose an electron

26. Platinum Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum together make up a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals Platinum is a silvery-white metal, when pure, and is soft and flexible Hydrogen and oxygen gas mixtures explode in the presence of platinum wire
