I. Periodic Table of the Elements

	the six elements highlighted in yellow (H, C, N, O, P and S) make up 98% of the mass of most living organisms
	the elements highlighted in orange (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Si and Cl) are present in small ammounts in many organisms
	vertical columns contain elements with similiar properties
	mass in parentheses like Fr (223) indicate unstable elements that decay rapidly to form other elements
	elements without a chemical symbol are as yet unnamed
