Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in their nuclei. This arrangement is the basis for the Periodic Table, where each element's position reflects its atomic number. Neutrons, while important for the stability of the nucleus, do not determine the order of elements in the periodic table. Therefore, the atomic number is the key organizing principle.

How did scientists discovering protons and neutrons help them to place elements in their correct order and group?

By discovering the elements proton number, it became easier for scientists because the elements had similar properties. And they could arrange it by increasing proton number, valence electrons or electronic configuration.


How is the periodic table used to arrange the elements?

The periodic table used to be arranged by increasing atomic mass. Now, it is arranged by increasing atomic number (number of protons in an atom of element).


Lighter elements have more or less number of protons than neutrons?

Lighter elements tend to have neutrons equal to protonms or only a slight excess. Heavier elements have an excess of neutrons over protons

Are protons neutrons and electrons elements?

No, protons, neutrons, and electrons are not elements. Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms, while electrons orbit the nucleus. Elements are substances made up of one type of atom, characterized by the number of protons in their nucleus.
