How does the periodic table relate to life?
927609
Our surroundings and out physical make-up is how the periodic table relates to us. We are comprised of some of these substances and the environment we live in is also comprised. It's the basic formula for life. I hoep that maybe got the ball rollinga  bit, i was trying to think of it also and can understand why it is hard to come up with. Best of luck.

what is the meaning of life?

DNA is the building blocks of life (I know you've heard that one). Basically, DNA encodes everything. It's what creates cells.\n\nIn a nutshell, DNA is comprised of a basic 5-carbon sugar with an attached nucleic acid (one of four, adanine, guinine, cytosine, and thiamine). These form long chaings that if stretched out fully would encompass the earth around 5 times. They encode (in a lengthy process) for protiens and certain protein chains that in the end, make your cells. And more cells, and more, until you get an organ. Enough organs and you get an organism. \n\n-Eric

This is a very perceptive question. Well done! You deserve an answer.\n\nWe are the life force, life energy, divine energy,elan vital, (that's french), whatever you want to call it. The energy peculiar to life which acts upon material in the physical universe and animates it, mobilizes it and changes it.\nBut we are suscepable to alteration in character or vibration and can become enturbulated. Hence the mess we sometimes make of the physical universe.\nSo there is a similarity to energy in the physical universe therfore batteries is a great analogy. I like it.

Life proceeds on chemistry.  Consumption of carbon proteins (or photosynthesis in plants) leading to the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).  ATP, being the energy storage and transfer molecule in just about all living cells is truly the stuff of life.

its how the electrons fit into the shells around the nucleus. at gcse there are 4 and they have the rule 2.8.8.18 so the first shell is filled first with two and then the second with 8 and so on.the number of electrons in the outer most shell used gives the atom its properties and its position on the periodic table

Atoms consist of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, with electrons in shells round it. \nIn an uncharged/neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal and this is the same as the atomic number. In the periodic table, the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. \nA molecule is two or more atoms chemically bonded together.\ne.g. Ne is an atom and H20 is a molecule.

I think ur referring to the chemical definitions.\n\nIn the periodic table, groups are the vertical columns having similar elements... ie. they have the same valencies leading to similar properties.. Example Group 1: has valency 1.. (Na, K etc)\n\nperiods are horizontal rows having elements with the same number of shells.. ie.. 1st period elements have only one shell (H and He - K shell).. 2nd period elements have 2 shells (K,L) and so on..\n\nLook up wikipedia for more info..

This question could have several answers, depending on the meaning of life and the quantity of atoms.  If human life is the question then the answer, by weight, is Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium,        Phosphorous, Potassium, Sulfur, Sodium, and         Chlorine.

No. Look at the periodic chart, also called the table of elements. Its even in the dictionary. So is alkaline. Finding that would have been easier than going to Yahoo answers, had you tried.

I would think your teacher is asking you about the way elements are grouped in the periodic table. You'll notice, for example, that gases are grouped together.\n\n Do a google on "classification of elements" -- there is a lot of stuff out there, and I'm sure it's also in your science text.

molecules. i would say that the best and most simple answer to this question is on one the the most basic levels in life. Life is possible because of these reactions that take place everyday such as the main source of life, water. It is brought together by oxygen and hydrogen.

Element Zinc - Zn\nComprehensive data on the chemical element Zinc is provided on this page; including scores of properties, element names in many languages, most known nuclides of Zinc. For many elements information on common compounds of is now provided as well. In addition technical terms are linked to their definitions and the menu contains links to related articles that are a great aid in one studies. Using the "Periodic Table of Elements Quick Navigation" graphic at the bottom of the sidebar menu, one can quickly jump from chemical element to chemical element.
