These abnormalities in turn can lead to cyst formation through at least three important mechanisms: 1  Cell proliferation (growth) â the cells lining a cyst reproduce themselves more than normal kidney cells do, making them grow in size. This process is essential to growth and replacement of the old cells.
How elements are arranged in the periodic table (General) 1  The chemical elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. 2  The rows are called periods and the columns are called groups. 3  Elements with similar chemical properties are in the same group of elements.
By examining an element's position on the periodic table, one can infer the electron configuration. Elements that lie in the same column on the periodic table (called a group) have identical valance electron configurations and consequently behave in a similar fashion chemically.he periodic table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the known elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number.
