The Arrangement of Elements in the Modern Periodic Table of Elements

 

4.2  The Arrangement of Elements in the Modern Periodic Table of Elements

Modern Periodic Table

  • The elements are arranged in order of increasing proton number.
  • This order is also related to the electron arrangement of the elements.
  • The periodic table is a classification of the element based on its chemical properties.
  • There are 18 groups of elements.
    • Group 1: Element (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) are called alkali metals
    • Group 2: Element that known as alkaline earth metal (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra)
    • Group 17: Elements (F, Cl, Br, I, At) are known as halogen

 

The Electron Arrangement of Element in the Periodic Table

  • All members of the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
  • The number of the period is indicated by the number of shells filled with electrons.

 

Element
With one or two valence electrons With three to eight valence electrons
Group = Number of valence electrons Group = Number of valence electrons + 10
