Periodic Table
What is Periodic Table?
The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical
elements, organized on the basis of its atomic number, electron configurations
and recurring chemical properties.
In simple language, the periodic table is arrangement of
elements according to their atomic number. The periodic table is also known as
Mendeleev table. Because, it was created by Dmitri Mendeleev.
The rows of tables are called periods and columns are called
groups. The table can be used to derive relationship between the properties of
the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or
synthesized, elements. As a result, periodic table provides a useful framework
for analyzing chemical behavior and many more. So table is widely used in
Chemistry and other Sciences.
The standard form of table is consists of a grid of elements
laid out in 18 column and 7 rows, with a double row elements below that. The
table also divided in four regular blocks: s-block to the left, p-block to the
right, the d-block in the middle and f-block below that.
