Atomic Theory Of Matter
Linked via "Dmitri Mendeleev"
The organization of electrons around the nucleus is governed by fundamental quantum mechanical rules, chief among them the Pauli Exclusion Principle. This principle, often stated as "No two electrons in an atom can occupy the same quantum state," dictates the arrangement of electrons into shells and subshells.
The specific arrangement of valence electrons (those in the outermost shell) determines an [element's](/entr… -
Chemistry
Linked via "Dmitri Mendeleev"
The atom consists of a nucleus, containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral), surrounded by a cloud of electrons (negatively charged). The number of protons defines the atomic number, which determines the element.
Chemical behavior is largely dictated by the configuration of the outermost electrons, known as valence electrons. The Periodic Table of Elements, systematized by Dmitri Mendeleev, arranges elements in rows (periods) and columns (gro… -
Element
Linked via "Dmitri Mendeleev's"
The concept of fundamental substances dates back to ancient Greek philosophy, where Aristotle proposed four primary elements: earth/), water/), air/), and fire/). These classical elements were considered fundamental properties of matter rather than discrete substances [2]. The transition to the modern chemical definition began with figures like Robert Boyle, who proposed a…

Linked via "Dmitri Mendeleev"
The Elements are the fundamental chemical substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. In modern contexts, this refers to the collection of distinct types of atoms, each defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, known as the atomic number ($Z$)/). Historically, the concept evolved significantly, moving from Aristotelian categories (earth), air, fire, water) to the systematic arrangement formalized by [Dmitri M…

Classification and Organization
The ordering of elements is formalized by the periodic table, established primarily by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. Elements are arranged sequentially by increasing atomic number ($Z$)/), organized into periods(rows) and groups(columns) based on recurring valence electron configurations, which dictate chemical periodicity.
