Periodic Table

The Periodic Table (周期表 Shūki-hyō) is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties.

The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups. The periodic table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements, and predict the properties of new elements yet to be discovered or synthesized. The periodic table provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and is widely used in chemistry and other sciences.

Overview
As a result of extensive research and experiment, the periodic table currently has 9 rows and 50 columns, with a total of 192 known and 26 hypothesized elements. Of these elements, 130 occur naturally; the remaining 88 are synthesized.

Trivia

 * The periodic table differs from the real periodic table. Notably, there are 100 more elements (following the pattern of block grouping), with the island of stability proven to exist as g-block elements.
