Solution

Structure of the modern periodic table:

Periodic Table: It is the table of chemical elements arranged in order of atomic number such that elements with similar atomic structure appear in the vertical columns. The Modern periodic law states that The chemical and physical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. The modern periodic table is based on modern periodic law. 

Groups: There are 18 vertical columns in the periodic table. Each column is called a group. All elements in a group have similar chemical and physical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Periods: In periodic table elements are arranged in a series of rows. Elements of the same period have the same number of electron shells.

Blocks: The table is divided into four blocks: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block, based on the type of orbital being filled. s- and p-blocks are called representative elements, d-block are transition metals, and f-block are inner transition elements (lanthanides and actinides).
