Extended periodic table The next six elements on the periodic table should be the last main-group elements in their period. In elements 167 to 172, the 9p and 8p shells will be filled. Their energy eigenvalues are so close together that they behave as one combined "p" shell, similar to the non-relativistic 2p and 3p shells. Thus, the inert pair effect does not occur and the most common oxidation states of elements 167 to 170 should be +3, +4, +5, and +6 respectively. Element 171 (unseptunium) is expected to show some similarities to the halogens, showing various oxidation states ranging from −1 to
Element-reactant-product table reaction equation is not balanced, it needs coefficients to show equality. Here is an example with the separation of natural gas from hydrochloric acid using magnesium.<br> Mg + HCl = MgCl + H <br>Here is the element-reaction-product table:<br> From this table we see that the number of hydrogen and chlorine atoms on the product's side are twice the number of atoms on the reactant's side. Therefore, we add the coefficient "2" in front of the HCl on the products side, to get our equation to look like this:<br> Mg + 2HCl = MgCl + H<br> and our table looks like
