Abstract
Abstract
Periodicity of elements is the basis of teaching and understanding inorganic chemistry. This review exemplifies simple rules and counting procedures as heuristic algorithms yielding often-dimensionless quantities that, as such or together with auxiliary parameters, allow us to predict not only the stoichiometry and bonding of compounds, but also some of their properties or reactions.
