Thank you in advance. Hi Lara: The important thing to remember about taking a probiotic: Be sure to take one containing multiple species of bacteria, as your gut needs to maintain the proper balance of bacteria to stay healthy and boost your immune system. Most high-quality probiotics contain the right balance.
The atomic number is the number of protons each atom has in its nucleus. By arranging the elements in this way, those with similar properties (characteristics) are grouped together. As with any grid, the periodic table has rows running left to right, and columns running up and down. The rows are called PERIODS and the columns are called GROUPS. Hydrogen (H) is the first element in the periodic table because it has just one proton in its nucleus. Helium (He) is second, because it has two protons, and so on.
A vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. Period. A horizontal row in the periodic table. The atomic number of each element increases by one, reading from left to right. Block. Elements are organised into blocks by the orbital type in which the outer electrons are found. These blocks are named for the characteristic spectra they produce: sharp (s), principal (p), diffuse (d), and fundamental (f). Atomic number. The number of protons in an atom.
