Periodic Table: The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electronic configuration, and recurring chemical properties, whose structure shows a periodic trend. Periods are the row in the periodic table where the elements are arranged. There are 7 such periods in the periodic table. All the elements in the period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, Every element in the top row (the 1 s t period) has one orbital for its electrons. All the elements in the second row (the 2 n d period) has two orbitals for their electron.
