The periodic table is a cornerstone of chemistry, organizing elements by their atomic structure and properties. Here's a quick overview:
🧪 Key Features
- Atomic Number: Represents the number of protons in an element’s nucleus.
- Periods & Groups: Elements are arranged in rows (periods) and columns (groups) based on electron configurations.
- Symbol: Short notation like H for Hydrogen or O for Oxygen.
📚 Fun Facts
- The table was first created by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.
- Elements are grouped into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
