Formulas

  • number of protons = atomic number
  • number of electrons = atomic number
  • number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

‣

Group Number

Groups are vertical columns, There are 8 groups which are labelled using Roman numerals, groups 1-7 are labelled with roman numerals 1-7 (I-vII) and group eight is labelled with a "O".

Group number is determined based on how much electrons are in the valence shell of an atom (outermost shell)

‣

Period Number

Periods are horizontal rows (we are interested in periods 1-4) which are represented using Arabic numbers (1,2,3,4...).

Period number is equal to the number of occupied electron shells in a particular atom.
