Explain how the periodic table is grouped.
The periodic table is organized according to the atomic structure of elements, especially how their electrons are arranged. The horizontal rows, called periods, group elements that have the same number of electron shells, with atomic numbers increasing from left to right. The vertical columns, known as groups or families, contain elements that share the same number of valence electrons, which gives them similar chemical properties. The table is also divided into blocks—s, p, d, and f—based on the type of atomic orbital the outermost electrons occupy. Broadly, elements are further classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids depending on their physical and chemical characteristics, and many groups have special names like the alkali metals, halogens, and noble gases. Overall, the periodic table’s structure reflects repeating patterns in element properties, making it a powerful tool for understanding chemistry.
