CISCE: Class 10
Definition: Groups
The modern periodic table has eighteen vertical columns. Each vertical column accommodates elements with the same number of electrons in the outermost shell. These vertical columns are known as Groups.
CISCE: Class 10
Definition: Periods
There are seven horizontal rows in the modern periodic table. They are known as Periods.
CISCE: Class 10
Definition: Typical Elements
The third period elements, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S and Cl, summarise the properties of their respective groups and are called typical elements.
