What is a Periodic Table?
GK Quiz on Periodic Table | The Periodic Table is a tabulated display of chemical elements. In the Modern Periodic Table, the elements are arranged by atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. The Periodic Table is used for predicting properties of discovered and undiscovered elements. It is also useful in sorting elements in a sensible way by grouping them with other elements with similar properties to understand and find them quicker.
The main purpose of the periodic table is to organize the similarities and properties of the elements in a way that can help us visualize and categorize the materials around us.
