What do the columns of the periodic table tell us about those elements?

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups (or families). All elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer orbital. Furthermore, since many chemical properties are determined by the location of the outermost electrons, elements in the same group will share many common properties.

∙ 12y agoRows (Periods) on the Periodic Table tell you how many electron shells are in an atom of that elemnt. The further down you go in the Periodic Table, the more electron shells there are. It goes in an ascending order, the first period of elements have 1 electron shell, the second period 2 electron shells, the third 3 shells and so on.

Where is the s block located in the periodic table?
On a periodic table, the "s-block" is the first columns. The elements in the first column have 1 s-electron, and those in the second have 2.
Columns on a periodic table are known as?
Those are groups.
What group does Li belong?
Groups are columns on the periodic table. Lithium is in the first column on the periodic table. Those elements are called alkali metals and include not only lithium but sodium, potassium and others.
What are the basic elements?
Those found on the "Periodic Table of the Elements".
Is the periodic table organized into horizontal rows called periods and vertical columns called elements?
the horizontal rows are called periods the vertical columns are called groups A periodic table is a tabular display of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers, electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number.

Which periods of the periodic table contain trans ition elements?
All the transition elements are metals. In the usual wide form periodic table, the transition elements are in columns 3 - 12 and in two rows at the bottom of the main table. Those in the rows at the bottom are also called "inner transition elements".
What is in the main group of elements?
The main group of elements includes all the elements in columns 1, 2, and 13 through 18 of a wide form periodic table. All the other elements are "transition elements", and those in the two horizontal rows at the bottom of a wide form periodic table are also called "inner transition" elements.
How do you know which elements are similar to each other?
The elements in each column of the periodic table have generally similar chemical properties, except that in columns 8 through 10, the elements in each row are at least as similar to one another as those in the same columns in other rows.
What are representatives elements?
elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
Why did mendeleev leave blank spaces on his periodic table?
Mendeleev left blank spaces because certain elements on the Periodic Table were not known at that time. He knew that in the future, those elements would be found and placed on the periodic table.
Why did Mendeleev leave three spaces on the periodic table?
Because those elements were not known when he formulated his periodic table.
