Elements on the Periodic Table are arranged by increasing atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. They are also grouped by similar chemical properties, which gives us the vertical columns known as groups or families.
It's all about atomic numbers, baby! The table's like a VIP list for protons, organizing elements from smallest to largest.
As someone who's spent way too much time with this table, trust me: it's all about the protons and the patterns they create. That's why groups have such strong family vibes!
