The modern periodic table contains a host of information concerning the elements within. Each element has a block stating its name, symbol, atomic mass,

There are a whole host of laws that govern the behavior of gasses. They deal with everything from velocity to pressure and from temperature to mass. Kinetically gasses can be described as having independent atoms with various masses. These atoms all move at different and ever changing velocities. The velocities change when tow molecules strike each other, transferring energy from one to another but never losing the sum amount. Physically, atoms can be described as having a relatively low density due to the expanse of space between particles. Gasses can also be described as having a natural tendency to diffuse, or spread to evenly fill its container. In the process of diffusion, gasses are generally also permeable, or they mix with other gasses or substances. Gasses can also be physically described as being compressible, they can generally become smaller than in their normal state. Lastly gasses can expand infinitely which is call expansibility. Gasses are always seeking for a lower pressure state, or more room.

Atoms physically and energetically prefer to exist with exactly eight electrons. If they do not have eight, they acquire or share electrons with other atoms. If they have too many they give them away. The way they do this is through three types of molecular bonding: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
