There are 15 types of chemical elements, such as gases, solids, liquids, radioactive elements, alkaline metals, transition metals and so on. Organizing the elements is fundamental to being able to look for them.

Chemists like to have things organized! Also, having the Periodic Table organized allows us to predict how one element will react with another. It also helped scientists of the past know that there were additional elements that had not yet been discovered!
