The periodic table of elements is a fundamental organizational tool in chemistry, showcasing all known chemical elements arranged by atomic number and electron configuration.
• The table includes métaux de transition (transition metals), alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides, actinides, metalloids, and non-metals
• Elements are organized systematically with atomic numbers, atomic masses, and chemical symbols
• The periodic table features both naturally occurring elements and synthetic elements
• Color coding helps distinguish between different element categories and properties
• Information includes atomic masses with uncertainty values in parentheses
