Best Answer

Literal groups are by similar chemical properties (alkaline earth, halogens, etc.). Elements are arranged by atomic number (number of protons) and are grouped also by their state of matter. For example, metals are in the middle, liquids are grouped together, and except for Helium, gases are as well.

By atomic number, on most periodic tables its the small number to the left hand corner of the grid square. The atomic number is also the number of protons the element has.
