PERIODIC TABLE an arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic numberan arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number elements with similar properties are in the same column.elements with similar properties are in the same column.
FAMILY/GROUP = COLUMNS elements have similar propertieselements have similar properties the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer orbitalthe elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer orbital *some exceptions in the transition metals
PERIODS = ROWS Elements have the same number of atomic orbitals in a period
ATOMIC # the number of protons on the nucleus
ATOMIC MASS/MASS # # of Protons + # of Neutrons
