← The Periodic Table

Chapter 3

Row 4: scandium to krypton

The fourth row of the periodic table brings the first transition metals: hard, shiny elements such as titanium, iron, copper and zinc that built tools, coins and machines. It ends with gallium, which melts in your hand, the famous poison arsenic, bromine, one of only two liquid elements, and the noble gas krypton. Several were predicted by Mendeleev before anyone found them, which made his table famous.
