Abstract
The Periodic Table of the Elements is our lodestar. It guides us as we explain what we know about elements and their interactions and shows us the path forward as we discover anew. The Periodic Table organizes what we know about the properties of the elements, including physical properties, such as size, and chemical ones, such as their tendency to hold on to or release electrons. In this chapter, we will dig into the Periodic Table to learn what it reveals, and how we can work with it to assess and predict the chemical behavior of elements.
