It is organized by the number of electrons and the number of neutrons. so take gold for example the atomic number is 79 that means it has 79 neutrons so it is placed in between platinum and Mercury. Hydrogen is first because it only has one neutron in its nucleus and one electron.

-to classify them in terms of their behavior
-for easy recognition of elements
-so the (period) and the (groups) would align
