Solution
| Group | Period | |
| 1. | The vertical columns of elements in the modern periodic table are called groups. | The horizontal rows of elements in the modern periodic table are called periods. |
| 2. | There are 18 groups. | There are 7 periods. |
| 3. | The properties of all the elements in a group show similarity and gradation. | The properties of elements change slowly from one end to the other in a period. |
| 4. | While going from top to bottom within any group, the number of shells goes on increasing | While going from left to right within a period, the number of shells occupied by electrons remains the same. |
