GROUPS AND
PERIODS -Columns in the periodic table represents “groups”
-There are 18 groups in the periodic table.
-Elements of the same the same group have the same chemical
properties as the all have the same number of electron/s in the
outer most energy levels.
-Rows in the periodic table represent “periods”.
-There are 7 periods in the periodic table .
-Elements of the same period have the same number of
energy levels
Periodic Table
