The bottom two rows shown on most periodic tables are:
Lanthanide series - which belongs to the 6th period
Actinide series - which belongs to the 7th period
Elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. This arrangement groups elements with similar properties in columns called groups or families, while elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
Some tables can be extended by pulling at both ends of the table to open up a space in the middle of the table, then inserting another piece of table top. This piece you insert is called a table leaf. If you have a table that can hold a few of them, they are called table leaves.
The vertical columns are called groups; at one time it was common to use Roman numerals to describe the groups of elements, but now the preferred usage is standard numbers.The groups also have names, in some cases for individual groups and in other cases for a block of groups.Group 1 is called the Alkali Metals, the most active metalsGroup 2 is called the Alkaline Earth MetalsGroups 3-12 are called the Transition Metals, and include some of our most useful metallic elements.Groups 13-16 are the PMN Elements (Post-Transition Metals, Metalloids and Non-metals - metals are near the bottom, non-metals are near the top - a complex block)Group 17 is the Halogens, the most active non-metalsGroup 18 is the Noble Gases, the least active non-metalsThe two rows of elements usually displayed at the very bottom of a periodic table are called the Lanthanides and Actinides, and they fit into the periodic table between Group2 and Group 3. So we might call the Lanthanides and Actinides Group 2.5
If a sugar is composed of two monomers, it is called a disaccharide.
Periodic Table
The first period is at the top of the table. It consists of hydrogen and helium. The bottom period is period 7.
Actinides
The first three periods of the periodic table are called the first period, second period, and third period.
Oxygen's period on the periodic table is the second period.
There are no specific names for rows in the periodic table because properties of elements in the rows do not match with one other. If we talk about the groups, then there is always some kind of similarity in the groups. For instance, let us take group-I, they are known as the "Alkali metals" because all of them form alkali solutions when their oxides are dissolved in water.
Fluorine is in the halogen family and in the second period of the periodic table.
Be is the second metal. It is in the second group.
Second period elements have two electronic shell.It comprises of eight elements.They are lithium,beryllium,boron,carbon,nitrogen,oxygen,fluorine and neon.
The horizontal rows on the Periodic Table are called periods, while the vertical columns are called groups or families. For instance, iodine is in the same group, but different period to fluorine, chlorine and bromine.
The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called Periods and the vertical rows are called groups.
