The periodic table of elements is divided into groups and periods. The groups (columns) are elements with similar chemical properties, while the periods (rows) represent the number of electron shells in an atom. The main subcategories include metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.

In Mendeleev's periodic table, the elements were arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses and repeating periodic properties.
There are 18 main groups in the modern periodic table of elements.

The elements that are placed outside of the periodic table are called transactinides. These elements are usually placed in a separate row below the main table and are synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.
Bridge elements in the periodic table are transition metals that help to connect the main group elements. They typically have properties that are intermediate between the main group elements on either side of them. Examples of bridge elements include zinc, cadmium, and mercury.
