Atoms are the building blocks of matter - they make up all living and nonliving things! The periodic table is a chart of all the known elements, organized according to their properties. Atoms can combine to form molecules - the basic units of many chemical substances!

Question: Why is the periodic table arranged in the way it is? Clues: • Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. • The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Explain how the arrangement of the periodic table reflects the structure of atoms. B. Create a drawing of the periodic table to illustrate its arrangement.
