Concept Introduction:

In the modern periodic table elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. It has been arranged as rows and column, arrangement of elements from left to right (row) as increasing atomic number called periods and arrangement of elements from top to bottom (column) in order of increasing atomic number called group.  Elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbital; number of shells is the same as period number.  Elements in the same group exhibit similar physical and chemical properties.

To explain groups and periods of elements in the modern periodic table

To explain: the classification of elements in the modern periodic table.

To explain: the representation of an element on the periodic table.
