Mendeleev arranged his periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.
The periodic table is an arrangement of elements showing the repeating pattern of their properties.
The rows in the periodic table are called periods.
Moving across the periodic table from left to right, one finds, in order, metals, then gases, then nonmetals.
The number of valence electrons detemines the electron's reactivity.
Another name for a period is a family.
On the periodic table, elements in the same column have similar properties.
Helium has chemical properties so different from those of the other elements that it cannot be placed in any group.
An element's can be predicted from its location on the periodic table.
The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing
Information found on the periodic table for each element includes its atomic number, , name, and atomic mass.
