Henry Moseley showed that atomic number is more fundamental property. So he organised the elements in accordance with atomic number.

WHY did Mendeleev arrange the elements in periods?

he put them in groups to show acids from alkali's and gasses from metals


What group on the periodic table contains the fewest elements?

These groups are groups 3 to 12 (transition metals) containing each four chemical elements.


Which groups compose the mains group elements?

Main group elements have elements from groups 1 and 2, except hydrogen and groups 13 to 18. Main group elements are elements in groups who's lightest elements are shown by helium, lithium, boron, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.


How many groups columns are in the periodic table of elements?

There are 18 groups in the periodic table of elements.


The modern periodic table of elements contains whatmain groups?

There are 18 main groups in the modern periodic table of elements.

How many groups can the elements be put?

The elements are grouped in to 7's. I took John Newlands 12 years to think of that solution. :)


Which group contains elements with the most varied properties?

Groups 3-12 have elements with the most diverse set of properties in the periodic table. They are transition elements.


How many groups of elements we're formed?

5 groups of elements


How many groups of elements in periodic table?

There are 18 groups and 7 periods in the modern periodic table.


What are elements in a column called?

The elements in the 8 main columns of the Pperiodic Table are called Groups. Groups 1 and 2 are separated from Groups 3 to 8 by a block of elements called the Transition Series and the columns in this series have no specific names.

What is the groups number for elements that have a stable number of electrons in their outer energy level?

Group 8


Why are group 8 elements very few?

The arrangement of chemical elements in groups and periods is determined by the periodicity of the chemical properties. In the case of the transition state elements, there are some smaller groups because of the way the incomplete inner electron shells are filled.


Which groups of elements are transition elements?

Elements located in groups 4 - 12 in the modern periodic table are considered as transition elements. Transition elements should not be confused with the d-block elements which are from groups 3 - 12.


Why do the elements belong in their groups?

because they have similar properties to the other elements in their groups


What groups comprise each block of elements in the periodic table?

s block elements: groups 1-2 d block elements: groups 3-12 p block elements: groups 13-18


What group on the periodic table contains the fewest elements?

These groups are groups 3 to 12 (transition metals) containing each four chemical elements.
