The Periodic Table

The arrangement of the periodic table demonstrates recurring 'periodic' chemical properties. Elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number (the number of protons in the atomic nucleus). Rows are arranged so elements with similar properties fall into the same vertical columns, or groups. According to quantum mechanical theories of electron configuration within atoms, each horizontal row, or period, in the table corresponded to the filling of a quantum shell of electrons. There are progressively longer periods farther down the table, grouping the elements into s-, p-, d- and f-blocks to reflect their electron configuration.
