Elements have unique electron configurations around atomic nucleus. Element electron configurations have groups and sequences {periodic table}|, from smallest to largest.
columns
Named columns are alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, chalcogen, halogen, and noble gas.
rows
First row has lightest elements, with electrons in first electron shell, 1s: elements 1 and 2.
Second row has common light elements with electrons in second electron shell, 2s and 2p: elements 3 to 10.
Third row has less common elements with electrons in third electron shell, 3s and 3p: elements 11 to 18.
Fourth row has elements with electrons in third and fourth electron shells, from 19 to 36.
Fifth row has elements with electrons in fourth and fifth electron shells, from 37 to 54.
Sixth row has elements with electrons in fifth and sixth electron shells, from 55 to 86.
Seventh row has elements with electrons in sixth and seventh electron shells, from 87 to 118.
