THE PERIODIC TABLE
The Periodic Table shows the elements arranged in order of increasing Atomic Number.
ROWS are called PERIODS : COLUMNS are called GROUPS (family).

Groups contain elements with similar valence electron numbers, so have similar chemical properties.
There are 8 main groups, 10 main transitional groups, and 14 inner transitional groups

Periods contain elements share the same electron shell. There are 7 periods.
1.
Define a family. ________________________________________________________________________
