What is the periodic table?

 🧪 What Is the Periodic Table?

• The Periodic Table is a systematic chart that organizes all known chemical elements based on their atomic number, electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties.

🔍 Key Features:

• Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (number of protons).
• Organized into rows (periods) and columns (groups or families).
• Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
• Divided into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
• Helps predict how elements react and combine.

🧑‍🔬 Why It’s Important:

• It’s like the “map” of chemistry.
• Used to understand element behavior, bonding, and chemical reactions.
• Crucial for chemistry, physics, biology, and many applied sciences.
