Elements on the periodic table are organized in periods (rows) and groups (columns).
The periodic table lists elements in order of atomic number, which increases from left to right as you move across a period.

84. Lesson 1: Electrons and Energy Levels
Electrons with more energy are farther from the atom’s nucleus and are in a higher energy level.
Atoms with fewer than eight valence electrons gain, lose, or share valence electrons and form stable compounds. Atoms in stable compounds have the same electron arrangement as a noble gas.
