How are elements in the modern periodic table arranged?

Elements are arranged in rows, referred to as periods, of increasing atomic number. To recap, atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Elements are also arranged in columns, referred to as their group. Elements in the same group have similar properties, all with the same number of outer shell electrons. For example, elements in group 2 have 2 outer electrons in their shell.
