3- Modern periodic table

? It was after the scientists discovered that each main
   level consists of definite number of sublevels.

? In modern periodic table, elements are classified
   according to:
    1- Atomic number of elements
    2- The way of filling the energy sublevels with electrons.

Description of modern periodic table:

   ? It includes 118 elements.
      (92 elements are abundant in earth’s crust and the
      rest are prepared artificially)

   ? it consists of:
                        - 7 horizontal periods
                        - 18 vertical group.

  ? Elements are classified into 4 blocks (s, p, d and f)

s-block elements      d- block elements                   p- block elements
