Period 6 element radioactive, and therefore present radioactive hazards. Period 6 element A period 6 element is one of the chemical elements in the sixth row (or "period") of the periodic table of the elements, including the lanthanides. The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall into the same vertical columns. The sixth period contains 32 elements, tied for the most with period 7, beginning with caesium and
Alternative periodic tables each element has with respect to another element in the table. Other tables aim to emphasize the chemical element isolations by humans over time. Charles Janet's Left step periodic table (1928) is considered to be the most significant alternative to the traditional depiction of the periodic system. It organizes elements according to orbital filling (instead of valence) and is widely used by physicists. Compared to the common layout, the Left step table has these changes: A modern version of the periodic table is constructed by Valery Tsimmerman, named the ADOMAH periodic table (2006). Its structure is based on the four
