Periodic table three naturally occurring isotopes: all of its atoms have six protons and most have six neutrons as well, but about one per cent have seven neutrons, and a very small fraction have eight neutrons. Isotopes are never separated in the periodic table; they are always grouped together under a single element. Elements with no stable isotopes have the atomic masses of their most stable isotopes, where such masses are shown, listed in parentheses. In the standard periodic table, the elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number "Z" (the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom). A
The Periodic Table (Basher book) The Periodic Table (Basher book) The Periodic Table: Elements with Style is a 2007 children's science book created by Simon Basher and written by Adrian Dingle.
