As described earlier, the periodic table arranges atoms based on increasing atomic number so that elements with the same chemical properties recur periodically. When their electron configurations are added to the table (Figure 3.1.63.1.6\PageIndex{6}), we also see a periodic recurrence of similar electron configurations in the outer shells of these elements.
Both periodic table and electron configuration have the elements recur periodically so that it is easier to read and understand.
-
It is important to remember that the periodic table was developed on the basis of the chemical behavior of the elements, well before any idea of their atomic structure was available.
The periodic table was solely originated on its behavior at first because they have not found out about each element's atomic structure yet.
-
corresponding family members carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon,
In addition, because of their electrons,these elements are in the same period/row. They also increase electrons as you go down the row.
-
The electron configurations of silicon (14 electrons), phosphorus (15 electrons), sulfur (16 electrons), chlorine (17 electrons), and argon (18 electrons) are analogous in the electron configurations
Silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and argon all are similar and comparable in a way because of the electrons in their outer shells.
-
Since the arrangement of the periodic table is based on the electron configurations,
Both the periodic table and the electron configurations are related.
