Periodic Table

The Periodic Table

The periodic table is an ordered arrangement of all 118 known elements. The elements are arranged in order of their atomic number (number of protons). Every time you move an element to the right, the proton number increases by 1.

Periods

The table is ‘periodic’ because elements with similar properties are found at regular intervals, i.e. periodically.
So, the rows of the periodic table are called periods.

Groups

Elements in the same column have the same number of electrons in their outer shell (the highest energy level).
Columns are known as groups, and the group number equals the number of electrons an atom of that element has in its outer shell.

Predicting chemical properties

Because all elements in a column have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, they have similar chemical properties.
This means they will all react in similar ways.
