and those with the highest energy are the ones involved in forming chemical bonds and ions. Elements in the same column in the periodic table (‘homologues’) share similar chemical properties ...

A new version of the periodic table of elements has predicted hundreds of highly charged ions that could be used to create the next generation of optical atomic clocks. The periodic table ...
