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
