Hello!
The modern periodic table was created by Dmitri Mendeleev with the main goal of showing rows and columns with a logic arrangement of chemical elements.

In each column, the groups, the elements have the same number of electrons in the outermost shells. While the rows are called periods or series.

Hi,
The periodic table contains information about each of the known elements. It includes the name of each element, its atomic number, its atomic mass and its chemical symbol.

The periodic table is divided using groups (columns) and periods (rows).

Each specific group or period has a specific pattern in the elements.

The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing atomic number.

I’m not really sure what information what you were asking for but I hope this helps..
