Show transcript
The periodic table is ordered by increasing atomic number (proton number). The periodic table is split into periods and groups. The position of an element in the periodic table is linked to its atomic number and the arrangement of its electrons. Elements can be classed as metals or non-metals according to their position on the periodic table. A useful model for atoms arranges electrons in shells around the nucleus.
