In the 1860’s, Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev noticed that elements were periodic, meaning they had a regular, repeating pattern. He arranged the elements by atomic number (proton number) Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Discovering a Pattern
Each horizontal row of elements on the periodic table is called a period Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Periods
The elements in each period have the same number of electron shells (electron cloud levels) Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Periods
Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Periods
Each vertical column on the periodic table is called a group. Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Groups
Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital (shell) The groups are also given family names Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Groups
Except He, it has 2 electrons Unit 3: Chemistry. Groups, Periods, and Families. Groups
