FAN AND MEDAL!!!!! SIMPLE QESTION!!! The periodic table? what would you put it under? what subject is it mainly about?

OpenStudy (rperry309):

@pokieokie

OpenStudy (pokieokie):

Are you gonna write about the periodic table?

OpenStudy (rperry309):

no its test about mixtures and acids and what ever else they have me do

OpenStudy (pokieokie):

hmmmmmmm lemme think

OpenStudy (rperry309):

okie

OpenStudy (pokieokie):

the periodic table is about metals, acids, mixtures, and chemicals

OpenStudy (pokieokie):

a table of the chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number, usually in rows, so that elements with similar atomic structure (and hence similar chemical properties) appear in columns

OpenStudy (rperry309):

so like earth science?

OpenStudy (mrm):

The Periodic Table of Elements is organized in a way that graphically organizes the CHEMICAL properties of every known type of atom. If this is a table of CHEMICAL properties, which branch of science would it most likely fall under?

OpenStudy (rperry309):

chemistry right

OpenStudy (rperry309):

well now that I think more about it it's a mixture of a lot of different subjects to be honest. is it not?

OpenStudy (pokieokie):

its a mixure

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I'd probably lean more towards chemistry for questions about the periodic table

OpenStudy (mrm):

You're right. Chemistry. And yes, your feeling are correct. The Periodic Table is actually organized according to quantum mechanics, the field of physics which explains all of chemistry. And many other branches of science apply chemistry to understand the world. But in the framework of most introductory classes, the periodic table ill be introduced and used exclusively in Chemistry.
