The inner shells of an atomâs electrons are full and stable. For the most part, they contribute little to the way the atom reacts. The largest factor in how an atom reacts is the makeup of its outer shell electrons. The periodic table naturally groups together elements with similar outer shells (Transition metals, halogens, etc.).
A period of elements in the periodic table all lie in the same row.] Groups [Groups: The groups of elements in the periodic table are the elements which have the same number of electrons in their outer shells and so have similar chemical properties. A group of elements all lie in same column in the periodic table.] . Elements with similar chemical properties are in the same group of elements. An example of a group in the periodic table is the alkali metal [alkali metals: The alkali metals are the elements in Group 1 of the periodic table. They have one electron in the outer shell.] group. This video clip shows some of the reactions that occur with this group.
