The periodic table, also called the periodic table of elements, is an organized arrangement of the 118 known chemical elements. The chemical elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number, or the number of protons in anatom's nucleus, which ge...
In 1789, a French chemist by the name of Antoine Lavoisier made the first systematic attempt at trying to list all of the known elements. He came up with a list of 33 elements and grouped them by known attributes. He primarily divided them into metals and non-metals. Unfortunately, many ...
This left-step table is a slightly modified version of the left-step table byCharles Janet(1928). This compact version places hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium all in a single row. Note that hydrogen is unique — it may be grouped with the alkali metals (like lithium) because it h...

Periodic tables typically color-code parts of the table to group chemically similar elements together. There is some variation in this. "Metals" is really the largest category, which here combines the Transition Metals of the d-block with other metals of the p-block. Sometimes these are ...
To account for these repeating trends, Mendeleev grouped the elements in a table that had both rows and columns. The modern periodic table of elements is based on Mendeleev's observations; however, instead of being organized by atomic weight, the modern table is arranged by atomic number (z)...
He grouped elements in a vertical and horizontal column known as group and period respectively. Mendeleev’s Periodic Table Modern Periodic Table Introduction Henry Moseley, 1913 modified Mendeleev’s periodic law by an atomic number of elements. He said that the atomic numbers of an element play ...
