The Periodic Table
ELEMENTS 1 There are more than 100 elements in the world. The Periodic Table charts these elements.
Each element is represented by a symbol ELEMENTS 2 Each element is represented by a symbol
Solids / liquids / gases CLASSIFICATION Elements can be thought of in a number of different ways: Solids / liquids / gases Metals / non-metals Natural / Synthetic Chemical properties
SOLIDS / LIQUIDS / GASES
METALS / NON-METALS metals non-metals
NATURAL / SYNTHETIC About 90 elements are found naturally on Earth Elements 43, 61, 87 and those beyond 92 are man-made
