THE PERIODIC TABLE

A series of lectures by
KABIR

What Is the Periodic Table?

The periodic table is an arrangement of


the elements according to their atomic
numbers.
It is arranged, in increasing atomic
number, in a series of horizontal rows and
vertical columns called Periods and
Groups, respectively, according to their
chemical and physical properties.

What are Periods of


Periodic Table?

The horizontal rows of the periodic table


are called its periods.
There are 7 periods in the table.
Elements in their specific periods have
those numbers of atomic orbits or shells.

What are Groups of the


Periodic Table?

The vertical columns of the periodic table


are called its groups.
In the case of periods, the elements in a
period have the same number of shells as
their no. of periods. While in the case of
groups, the elements in a respective
group have the same no. of outermost
electrons or valence electrons, which are
crucial for chemical bonding and
reactions, therefore having similar
chemical properties.
