You can get some very important information just by looking at the Periodic Table, like how many valence electrons it has, how hard it is to make 2 atoms bond, or if they'll even bond at all.

The Periodic Table
There are 118 known elements in the world. Some happen naturally and some are made in a lab. With all those elements, it's easy to get lost if you don't have a good system for sorting them. Fortunately, chemists and the alchemists before them thought of this problem. As they learned more about different elements, they worked out a pretty good way of sorting them called the Periodic Table of Elements.
