What is the difference between period and groups in the periodic table?
Periods are the rows in the periodic table that organize elements based on the number of electron shells they have. Groups, also known as families, are the columns that organize elements based on similar chemical properties and valence electron configuration. Elements within the same period have the same number of electron shells, while elements within the same group have similar chemical properties due to their shared valence electron configuration.
