the elements are categorised into firstly metals and non metals. metals are on the right and middle and non metals are on the left. Then they are categorised according to reactivity, for example the first column on the far left are all alkali metals, bar helium, which are highly reactive to water and air. Then the next column is of alkali earth metals, which are like alkali metals but are found more naturally are are less reactive.

here's a link to a site that might help because i'm not brilliant at explaining

What do elements in the periodic table do?

The periodic table is just a way of grouping elements according to their atomic numbers. It helps scientists to understand why different elements react in different ways.


What are some ways that elements are arranged on the periodic table of elements?

Mendeleev arranged the elements in a table in the increasing order of atomic masses and repeating periodic properties. In the modern long-form of periodic table, the elements are arranged in the increasing order of atomic number and repeating periodic properties.


What are the different ways the elements in the periodic table are classified?

Periodic table can be classified as:MetalsTransition elementsNon-metalsThey occupy different groups.

Will the periodic table be change anymore?

Yes, we will forever be adding new elements to the periodic table as we figure out new ways to make them; however, most of what you see now will stay the same.


What ways was Mendeleev's periodic table inaccurate compared to the modern periodic table?

Many more elements are known today then when Mendeleev laid out his table. In addition, he arranged his table by atomic mass and there are places in the periodic table where mass does not always increase. An example is between tellurium and iodine.


Did Arsenic create the first periodic table?

Arsenic did not create the first periodic table. The first periodic table was created by Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, in the 1860s. Other scientists had organized elements in other ways prior to the invention of Mendeleev's periodic table, but the other methods were criticized and did not catch on.


How can the elements on the periodic table make up everything in the universe?

because the elements can combine in many different ways and thus there are nearly unlimited possible compounds.


Why was aluminum placed where it is today on the periodic table of elements?

the periodic table is organized in a few ways. The elements in a column (up to down) are placed like that because they have the same amount of valence electrons (electrons in outer shell). The periodic table is also divided with metals on the right and covering most of the middle, metaloids to the right and gases to the far right of the table. Lastly because of Aluminum's physical and chemical properties it is with the other metals in about the center of the periodic table.
