By: Grant Hall

2. The Creator
Dmitri Mendeleev created
the Periodic Table
He decided to create a table
of elements while
constructing a text book

3. The Organization of the Periodic
Table

4. Periods
Rows
Organized by the number of
Atomic Orbitals

5. Groups
Columns
Organized by the amount of
electrons in the outer shell

6. The Atomic Number
Is determined by the
number of electrons or
protons in an atom

7. Families
Is a Vaguer Grouping
Organized by similar
physical and chemical
properties
Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth
Metals, Transition Metals,
Halogen Gases, Noble Gases,
Post Transition Metals,
Metalloids, Nonmetals,
Lanthanoids, Actinides

8. Relationships Between Elements
Composition
Similarities
Patterns
