ARTICLES RELATED TO Periodic table - Standard periodic table |  |  |  | Periodic table - Standard periodic table: Encyclopedia II - Periodic table - GroupsA group, also known as a family, is a vertical column in the periodic table of the elements. There are 18 groups or families in the standard periodic table. Elements in a group have similar configurations of their valence shell electrons, which gives them similar properties.
There are three systems of group numbers; one using Hindu-Arabic numerals (1, 2, ... 18), another using Roman numerals (I, II, ... VIII), and one using a combination of Roman numerals and Latin letters (IA, IIA, IB, ... VIIIA). The Roman numeral names are the orig ...

 |  |  | Periodic table - Standard periodic table: Encyclopedia II - Periodic table - HistoryThe original table was created without a knowledge of the inner structure of atoms: if one orders the elements by atomic mass, and then plots certain other properties against atomic mass, one sees an undulation or periodicity to these properties as a function of atomic mass. The first to recognize these regularities was the German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner who, in 1829, noticed a number of triads of similar elements:
This was followed by the English chemist John Newlands, who noticed in 1865 that the elements o ...

 |  |  | Periodic table - Standard periodic table: Encyclopedia II - Periodic table - Periodicity of chemical propertiesElements adjacent to one another within a group have similar physical properties, despite their significant differences in mass. Elements adjacent to one another within a period, or energy level, have similar mass but different properties.
For example, very near to nitrogen (N) in the second period of the chart are carbon (C) and oxygen (O). Despite their similarities in mass (only a few atomic mass units), they have extremely different properties, as can be seen by looking at their allotropes: diatomic oxygen is a gas that supports burning, diatomic nitrogen is a gas that d ...

 |  |  | Periodic table - Standard periodic table: Encyclopedia II - Periodic table - Periodic table structure reflects electron configurationThe primary determinant of an element's chemical properties is its electron configuration, particularly the valence shell electrons. For instance, all atoms whose four valence electrons are found on the p shell will behave similarly, regardless of which energy level that last p shell is on. The shell in which the atom's outermost electrons reside determines the "block" to which it belongs. Th ...
