The Periodic Table is one of the most useful tools in all of chemistry. Thus, it is essential that one can understand what information it holds. Each box contains information held about a certain element and is organized like this:

• Element Symbol - This is the symbol that chemical formulas or equations use to indicate that certain element. It is very important to know what symbol refers to what element, so it is highly recommended to memorize some of the most common symbols.
