3. As you go down a column, called groups, the
elements have the same number of valence
electrons, which gives them similar chemical
activity
Metals are on the left, nonmetals on the right
and metalloids along the zig-zag line that
divides the metals and nonmetals, inert gases
on the far right
In general the elements do get heavier as you
increase atomic number, but there are
variances
4. The table is organized by its similarities in metals
and other things
