The most recent updates to the Periodic Table occurred in 2016, when IUPAC officially recognised the discovery of four new elements: Nihonium (Nh), Moscovium (Mc), Tennessine (Ts), and Oganesson (Og), completing the seventh row of the table. Table 1.1 lists the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in four particles, each from one of the elements mentioned above. Each particle may be an atom, an anion or a cation.
