They are arranged in ascending order by proton number.

There are eight vertical groups. Elements in each group share similar properties and have the same number of valence electrons. Group I elements have one valence electron, and Group V elements have five valence electrons. Group 0 (the eighth group) elements have either two or eight valence electrons.

The elements are also arranged horizontally in Periods. Hydrogen and helium are in Period 1; lithium, neon and the elements between them are in Period 2; and sodium, argon and the elements between them are in Period 3. So on. The Period an element is in indicates the number of electron shells the atom has. Hydrogen has one shell, sodium has three.

Metals are found on the left side of the Periodic Table. Non-metals are found on the right side. Elements between Group II and Group III are called transition metals. For example, iron, gold, copper, nickel and silver are all transition metals. Some elements found between metals and non-metals are metalloids, which have properties similar to both metals and non-metals.

Can elements be aranged according to their properties?

Yes, in fact that is the entire purpose of the periodic table, which is a listing of elements based on their properties. In this table, elements are grouped by atomic number (# of protons), and number of electrons in outer energy level. Patterns can be found in groups of elements called periods and families (rows and columns on the table). Google the periodic table for an explanation of how to use this and as an example for your question. I had a school project that asked me to groups the elements according to their properties in a different way than the periodic table.

How are the elements arranged?

Elements are arranged on the periodic table based on their atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nucleus. This arrangement groups elements with similar properties in columns called groups or families, while elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
