States of Matter:
Elements:
We've got eighteen elements to choose from. Why start with 18? We only have eighteen, because the rules for the first eighteen elements are very straightforward:
(1) Electrons fit nicely into three shells. Remember that the shells are the places you will find electrons as they spin around the nucleus.
(2) These elements make up most of the matter in the Universe.
(3) It's a lot easier to remember facts about 18 elements than over 100 elements.
Who are we kidding? We know you want information on more than eighteen elements. We've added the next 18 elements from the fourth period (row) of the periodic table. You need to remember that this is the first row with transition elements. The transition metals have electron configurations that are a little different from the first 18 elements. Make sure you understand the first 18 before you move on to this set.
Oceans:
