The table was organized so that elements of similar properties are in the same group. What (partly) determines reactivity is the number of electrons an atom has in it's ground state. . Within the atom electrons are organized in shells. Atoms are stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell (for hydrogen and helium it is 2 electrons.) . Elements of: Group 18 have 8 electrons in their outer shells Group 17 have 7 electrons in their outer shells Group 16 have 6 electrons in their outer shells Group 15 have 5 electrons in their outer shells Group 14 have 4 electrons in their outer shells Group 13 have 3 electrons in their outer shells Groups 3-12 have varied number of electrons in their outer shells Group 2 have 2 electrons in their outer shells Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells

The number of electrons an element has determine the organization. This table helps in making predictions about how an element will chemically react.
The periodic table is organized in order of increasing number of electrons. Column-wise, the elements are divided into groups. With the exception of the transition metals in the middle of the period table, all the other groups have the same number of valence electrons within each groups. Calcium has 2 valence electrons, meaning that there are two electrons in its outermost shell of electrons. All group 2 elements have two valence electrons. So calcium belongs in group 2. It is also there because of how the table is arranged in the order of increasing atomic number
Tissues are organized into organs. Cells organized into tissues Tissues organized into organs Organs organized into organ system
electron shells
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
electrons in magnets are organized and generally pointing in the same direction
Electrons are generally gathered around an atom beginning with the lowest possible quantum numbers.
orbitals, each of which can hold 2 electron of opposite spin.
Electron shells, orbitals, and sub-orbitals.
They are organized by atomic number (the number of protons/electrons in the element).
1) atomic number (number of protons) 2) valance electrons
A small core of nucleons (protons and neutrons) surrounded by an attenuated cloud of electrons.
The modern periodic table is arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number and repeating properties. The elements in the same family / group have the same number of valence electrons.
