This list includes 4 Chemical Elements that start with G, from “Gadolinium” to “Gold”. They range from a rare-earth metal used in magnets to a precious metal used in jewelry and electronics. See the A–Z index for other letters.
Chemical elements that start with G are elements whose names begin with the letter G and include metals and metalloids. For example, gold has shaped human culture as currency and ornament since antiquity.
Below you’ll find the table with Atomic number, Element, Symbol, Atomic weight, and Discovery year.
Atomic number: Shows the element’s proton count so you can compare relative positions and chemical trends across the periodic table.
Element: Gives the common element name so you can quickly identify which element each row represents.
Symbol: Provides the one- or two-letter symbol used in formulas so you can recognize chemical notation quickly.
Atomic weight: Lists the standard atomic weight with three decimals so you can compare isotopic averages for calculations.
Discovery year: Shows the year or era of discovery so you can place each element in historical and scientific context.
