Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals
The elements are listed in the order of how many atoms they have. For example, hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table. Hydrogen is the smallest element, and has one atom.
- the rational arrangement of chemical elements - elements in groups - elements in periods - atomic number - prediction of chemical and physical properties of elements
The periodic table is a table made of 7 periods (rows) and 18 groups (columns). It is organized by the increasing order of the atomic number.
As the periodic table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table as it has only one electron.
Zirconium - Zr
Elements are arranged on the Periodic Table in the order of the atomic number, in groups and periods.
He arranged the elements in the increasing order of their atomic masses and repeating periodic properties.
It is based on the number of protons in one atom.
The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number in the Periodic Table. The rows are called periods and the columns are called groups.
Before Henry Moseley, the periodic table was arranged in order of increasing atomic mass. However, this arrangement did not allow all the elements to be placed into groups of similar chemical properties. Moseley rearranged the periodic periodic in order of increasing atomic number which did have all the elements in their correct groups.
The periodic table has 7 periods and 18 groups. The order of elements is governed by the number of protons.
