A '''chemical series''' is a group of [[chemical element]]s whose physical and chemical characteristics vary progressively from one end of the series to another.

Chemical series were discovered before the creation of the [[periodic table of the chemical elements]], which was created to try to organise the elements according to their chemical properties.

Several chemical series correspond exactly to [[periodic table group]]s: this is not a coincidence, as the physical properties that group them arise from the same [[atomic orbital]] configurations that place them in the same group in the periodic table.

The chemical series of the periodic table are the:

* [[Alkali metal]]s ([[periodic table group]] 1)
* [[Alkaline earth metal]]s (periodic table group 2)
* [[Lanthanide]]s
* [[Actinide]]s
* [[Transition metal]]s
* Other [[metal]]s
* [[Metalloid]]s
* [[Nonmetal]]s
* [[Chalcogen]]s (periodic table group 16)
* [[Halogen]]s (periodic table group 17)
* [[Noble gas]]es (periodic table group 18)

See also:
* [[Coinage metal]]
* [[noble metal]]
