Periodic Table
The periodic table is a fascinating table, filled with the worlds elements and compacted with facts about certain elements. Specifically Radon, which is a very informing element with enormous uses. On the periodic table you can find the name of Radon, the symbol, family/series, the atomic number, the atomic mass the number of protons, the number of electrons, the number of energy levels, the number of valence electrons, and the classification.
Radon, the name of the element, has a symbol of Rn. Radon falls under the Noble Gas family/series, and its classification is a nonmetal. The atomic number of this element is 86 which is found next to the symbol on the periodic table, and if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of protons which are the same (86). Once you know the number of protons, then you can figure out the number of electrons. The number of electrons are the same as the number of protons, only if there is no charge. The mass of Radon is 222 amu which is also found next to the symbol. The element Radon, has 136 neutrons, which you can find by taking the atomic number and subtracting from the atomic mass. Another fact you can find on the periodic is the number of energy levels. You can figure this out by checking which period it is in (the row), so radon is in the sixth row so it has six energy levels. Next you can look for the number of valence electrons, by checking its column. Radon happens to be the last row so it has a full outer shell in the 18th column and eight valence electrons.
