Chemical series

Hello,

When you look at the periodic table article (same color codes than in the Chemical series article) and at other pages about chemical elements, you deduce that each chemical element is classified in only one chemical series. The 10 chemical series are: Alkali metals, Alkaline earth metals, Lanthanides, Actinides, Transition metals, Poor metals, Metalloids, Nonmetals, Halogens, Noble gases.

However, this article:

don't explicitly assert that the chemical series are a mathematical partition in 10 parts of the chemical elements set
is unsourced (no references about the contents of chemical series).

This vagueness is currently cause of dispute in Commons Wikimedia, as we want to use chemical series to categorize media files.

Because the name of the “Nonmetals chemical series” is also used for the tripartite partition of the chemical elements set (metals, metalloids, nonmetals), another Commons user asserts that Nonmetals chemical series matches to the Nonmetals in the tripartite partition.

Is there somebody to clarify this and to dispel ambiguity in this article (and related ones)? --Juiced lemon 13:09, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You probably meant to read "For feedback on articles that are less developed, use the article's talk page or requests for feedback" at the top of this page. Yes this article needs a lot of development. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 16:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we should probably discuss this in the article's talk page. I've posted my opinion there. Itub 17:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
