Playing Sports, Staying Healthy. Organized athletics are woven into the fabric of the American tradition. Millions of boys and girls participate in baseball, basketball, track and field, and other sports as part of club and/or school teams. In addition to its established health benefits, sports participation has been lauded for fostering such basic values as fair play, competitiveness and achievement.
The periodic table contains seven rows of elements. The lanthanide series belongs to row six as elements 57-71.
The modern periodic table is sometimes expanded into its long or 32-column form by reinstating the footnoted f-block elements into their natural position between the s- and d-blocks. Unlike the 18-column form this arrangement results in no interruptions in the sequence of increasing atomic numbers.
