When Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table in the late 19th century, he grouped elements by atomic weight. When grouped by weight, the behavior of the elements appeared to occur in regular intervals or periods. The columns of the modern periodic table represent groups of elements and rows represent the periods. The groups are numbered one through 18. Elements in the same group can be expected to behave in a similar way because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell.
