The Periodic Table is a way of sorting the chemical elements according to their number of protons, electron configurations, and properties. It demonstrates how these properties follow a predictable pattern. Elements near each other on the table, especially in the same column, share properties. This system was so effective that it was even able to predict elements before they were discovered.

add. As far as the chemistry part is concerned, it is the electrons, (and the spaces in their shells) that react in a chemical process.
