Periodic table organization

The periodic table organizes a remarkable amount of information about the chemical and physical properties of the elements. The information is organized in such a manner that trends in properties and important relationships can be readily identified. In this activity, you will identify several elements based on their properties and the properties of the surrounding elements in the periodic table.

We learned in Chapter 1 that electrons are outside the atomic nucleus. Though we do not know the exact location of these electrons, we can use equations to determine their most probable location. This location or region in atomic space is called an orbital. Electrons fill into orbitals around the atomic nucleus. As the electrons fill into orbitals, they move farther from the nucleus. Their distance from the nucleus is described as their energy level, or shell. The first shell is closest to the nucleus. The periodic table organizes the elements according to their electron configurations. 

You have seen how the periodic table organizes elements so that those with similar properties are in the same group. You have also seen how the periodic table distinguishes among metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Other details of the organization of the periodic table may seem baffling, however. Why, for example, are there different numbers of elements in the periods ... 

The periodic table organizes the elements into periods (rows) and groups (columns) by increasing atomic number. Elements with similar properties are in the same group. 

The periodic table organizes the elements into groups with similar physical and chemical properties. 

The modern periodic table organizes elements according to atomic number. 

One of the simplest methods that fits most atoms uses the periodic table organized as in Figure 2.9. The electron configurations of hydrogen and helium are clearly and After...
