Silicon (Si) is a metalloid, element number 14 on the periodic table. Like carbon, silicon has four bonding sites, but silicon is more than twice as heavy as carbon. The high melting point of ...

The element germanium was discovered in 1886. Its properties were similar to the predicted ones of Mendeleev’s ‘eka-silicon’. The periodic table is a good example of how scientific ideas ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.
