Cool Guide to the Periodic Table for Kids: Learn Atomic Symbols and More!

The periodic table is a fundamental tool in chemistry, organizing elements based on their properties and atomic structure. This detailed guide provides a comprehensive overview of the periodic table, including group and period arrangements, atomic structure, and element classifications.

  • The table is organized into groups (vertical columns) and periods (horizontal rows)
  • Elements in the same group share similar chemical and physical properties
  • Atomic number increases across periods from left to right
  • The table includes key information for each element: atomic number, symbol, name, and relative atomic mass
  • Elements are classified as metals, non-metals, metalloids, transition metals, and noble gases

I love this app so much [...] I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a C to an A with it :D

Stefan S, iOS User

The application is very simple and well designed. So far I have found what I was looking for :D

SuSSan, iOS User

Love this App ❤️, I use it basically all the time whenever I'm studying

Comprehensive Guide to the Periodic Table

This detailed annotated periodic table guide provides a wealth of information about the structure and organization of elements. It serves as an essential resource for students studying chemistry at various levels, from KS3 to A-level.

Definition: The periodic table is a systematic arrangement of chemical elements, organized based on their atomic structure and chemical properties.

The table is divided into several key components:

  1. Groups: Vertical columns of elements with similar properties.

Highlight: Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, leading to similar chemical behaviors.

  1. Periods: Horizontal rows where atomic number increases from left to right.
  2. Element Information: Each element box contains: Atomic symbol Element name Atomic protonproton number Relative atomic mass

Example: For lithium LiLi, the atomic symbol is Li, atomic number is 3, and relative atomic mass is 7.

  1. Element Classifications: Metals: The majority of elements, typically good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals: Generally poor conductors, found on the right side of the table. Metalloids: Elements with properties of both metals and non-metals. Transition Metals: Elements in the central block of the table. Noble Gases: Unreactive elements in Group 18.

Vocabulary: Relative atomic mass is the average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

  1. Special Sections: Lanthanides and Actinides: Two rows of elements typically placed below the main table. Halogens: Highly reactive non-metals in Group 17. Alkali Metals: Highly reactive metals in Group 1.

Highlight: The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus, which also determines the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

This annotated periodic table is an invaluable tool for understanding atomic structure, element properties, and chemical trends. It serves as a cornerstone for further study in chemistry, from basic concepts to advanced topics in atomic theory and chemical bonding.

Quote: "The periodic table is one of the most significant achievements in science, capturing the essence of chemistry in an elegant format." - Unknown

By mastering the information presented in this guide, students will be well-equipped to tackle more complex chemical concepts and problems in their studies.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
