How does the arrangement of elements in periods reflect electrons structure?

The elements are arranged by how many protons or electrons are free or available for interaction with other elements. For instance, sodium is in the first column, with one proton available or a +1 charge, Calcium in the second column with a +2 charge etc. From the right side Chlorine is a -1 charge etc. This is a simplified answer, but you should get the idea.

What information do you get from periodic table periods?
Arrangement of elements according to their periodic function,that is their atomic properties
Will atomic properties vary in a similar way in a different periods?
The atomic properties depends on the electrons of the outer shell. THe elements in differnent periods have the same arrangments of electrons in the outer shell. Thus, atomic prperties vary in a similar way in diffrent periods
What are called periods on the periodic table of elements?
Groups or families; all are arranged by the number of valence electrons.
Why are the elements on the periodic tables separated into periods?
Periods are types of elements.
Period in chemistry?
A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table of the elements. There are seven periods on the periodic table. Each period corresponds to the highest energy level that contains electrons. For example, the elements in the first period have electrons in the first energy level, which is the only energy level available; the elements in the second period have their highest energy electrons in the second energy level; the elements in the third period have their highest energy electrons in the third energy level, and so on.
Why some of the periods have different numbers of elements?
The early periods have less elements because they are filling up energy levels which hold only a few electrons. The later periods contain elements with electrons in levels with a greater capacity.

What are the differences between groups and periods?
Groups consist of elements listed in the same column. These elements share similar chemical properties, such as number of valence electrons. Periods are the rows of elements. These elements do not share chemical properties, as periods are organized by increasing atomic number (number of protons).
What periods contain elements with electrons in s'p'dand f orbitals?
It is C. i got lucky when i guess:)
How are periods in the periodic table similar?
The elements in a given period have the same number of core electrons.
What are periods and groups?
Elements in the periodic table are arranged in periods (rows) and groups (columns). Atomic number increases as you move across a row or period. The period number of an element signifies the highest unexcited energy level for an electron in that element. Elements within a group share several common properties. Groups are elements have the same outer electron arrangement. The outer electrons are called valence electrons.
Contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals?
period contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals
What separates elements into different periods?
The periods on the periodic table separate the elements according to which shell their valence electrons fall into. So, elements located in the third period will have the sum of all electrons contained in that period. For example: P has an electron configuration of 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p3 ......................sooo, add up all electrons from the third shell (3s2 & 3p3) to get the total number of valence electrons of the element.
Will atomic properties vary in a similar ways in different periods?
The atomic properties depends on the electrons of the outer shell. THe elements in differnent periods have the same arrangments of electrons in the outer shell. Thus, atomic prperties vary in a similar way in diffrent periods

How are the elements in the periods in the periodic table related?
As you go down a group, the number of electrons in the outer shell is the same.

Groups or families; all are arranged by the number of valence electrons.
