Science has come a long way since Greek theory of

the elements, the water, fire, earth and water

GROUPS

Vertical Columns
Elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital shell
(outer electrons are also called valence
electrons).
Every element in the first column (group 1)
have one electron in its outer shell while on
the other hand, the second column (group2)
have two electrons in its outer shell. As you
keep moving from one column to another the
electron gets higher.

PERIODS

Rows in the periodic table of elements.

All of the elements in a period have the
same number of atomic orbitals. (maximum
7 orbitals)

FAMILIES

Each of the elements in the Periodic Table can be

divided into one of nine groups. These groups
share many similar properties; both chemical and
physical.
