Frequently Asked Questions
What is the periodic table?
The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties.
Why are elements arranged in groups and periods?
Elements in the same group (column) have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same period (row) have the same number of electron shells.
What is an atomic number?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element. It uniquely identifies a chemical element.
