The Welsh name for this element
Foreign language element names from the Elementymology & Elements Multidict
symbol  
atomic number Also called proton number.
relative atomic mass  
year of discovery A dash means that the discovery date is uncertain but that the element was known in Roman times.

melting point  
boiling point  
enthalpy of fusion Standard molar enthalpy change of fusion (melting).
enthalpy of vaporisation Standard molar enthalpy change of vaporisation (boiling) at the boiling point.
molar entropy Standard molar entropy.
enthalpy of atomisation Standard molar enthalpy change of atomisation per mole of atoms formed .
van der Waals radius  
covalent radius  
metallic radius  
ionic radius 1 The ionic radius of the ion formed by the element in ON(1).
ionic radius 2 The ionic radius of the ion formed by the element in ON(2).
ionic radius 3 The ionic radius of the ion formed by the element in ON(3).
