Definition

• The Periodic Table is a chart that organizes all known chemical elements based on their properties.

Basic Terms

• There are 3 major things in a periodic table, they are the atomic number, atomic mass and the symbol of their element used in chemical formulas or used as short forms

• The atomic number represents the number of proton in a element

• The atomic mass is the avg weight of atom including all the isotopes

• Symbol of a atom represents the short form of a element

Structure Of The Periodic Table

• There are 18 groups in a periodic table, each representing the each type of element

• There are various type of these elements like the following

• Alkali Metal - Group 1

• Alkali earth metal - Group 2

• Transition Metals - Group 3-12

• Halogens - Group 17

• Noble Gas - Group 18'

Alkali Metal

• Alkali metals are highly reactive elements, they react highly especially with water

• Soft And Shiny metals

• Example -: Lithium, Sodium And Etc

Alkali Earth Metals

• Alkali earth metals are less reactive than group 1 elements

• Compared to alkali metals, alkali earth metals are more harder

• Example -: Magnesium, calcium or etc

Transition Metals

• Transition metals are in the middle of the periodic table, are very good at conducting electricity

• Transition metals form colored compounds

• Example -: Iron, zinc or etc

Halogens

• Halogens are very reactive non-metals

• They often form salts

• Example -: Fluorine, Chlorine or etc

Noble Gases

• Noble gases are unreactive gases

• They are stable gases

• Example -: Argon and etc
