Elements by Series

Element series group elements with similar physical or chemical properties. IUPAC recognizes the names alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, pnictogen, chalcogen, halogen, and noble gas. Other categories such as transition metals and metalloids are widely used but lack precise consensus definitions.

Data available for 118 of 118 elements. Most common: Transition Metal (34 elements).
