**Explanation of above periodic table slice:**
atomic number in red are gases	atomic number in black are solids	atomic number in green are liquids	solid borders are primordial elements (older than the Earth)	dotted borders are radioactive, synthetic elements	dashed borders have no isotopes older than the earth
