The Periodic Table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the knwn elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of icreasing atomic number.

A table displaying all the different elements known to man in order of Atomic Mass. i.e. how many protons are in the nucleus of the element. The elements are also grouped by those that display similar properties. For example, halogens (group VII), noble gases (group VIII), alkali metals (group I) etc. There are four blocks in the periodic table: s, p, d and f. The block consists of the transition metals. d The f block consists of the inner transition metals which consists of two rows; the upper row contains the lanthanoids and the lower row contains the actinoids. The vertical columns in the table are called groups and the rows are called periods.

How does the periodic table helps you learn about elements?

The peridodic table is a listing of all the known elements. These elements are then broken down into groups and families, gases, liquids, solids, metals, nobal gases etc. etc. displying each elements atomic number which also tells you about the element. The chemical symbol of each element is included also and is what the element is commonly written as. Chemical symbols: - they are used in formulas and word equations (chemical equations) e.g. water's chemical symbol is H2O (2H - HYDROGEN ATOMS, 1 O- OXYGEN ATOM) etc. - the chemical symbols of compounds and other substances including acids and bases etc. are made up of the element in the compound. The periodic table helps you understand more about the elements and is extremely helpful in learning the chemical language.
