Does anyone know what the name for the "Periodic Staircase" is??
« on: October 04, 2007, 04:49:57 AM »
My teacher said there is a specific name for the "Periodic Staircase" found in the Periodic Table of Elements that separates the Metalloids/semimetals. Does anyone know the name of this "staircase?" Thanks. :)

Don't lanthanides and actinides refer to the name of the elements next to the stair case though? I think my teacher is referring to the actual line.
