Now we're going to be looking at the periodic table and some of the groups and trends of elements that exist.
00:07
So here we've got a general structure of the periodic table with the s, p, d and f block all labelled.
00:15
We've also got the metals to the left, the non -metals to the right and the metalloids that divide the metals and non -metals in a stair -like structure.
00:24
We've got the groups going horizontally across the top and the periods going vertically down the side.
00:32
So now we've got a general understanding.
00:35
We'll look at some more specific groups that exist.
00:38
So for example, we've got the halogens.
00:40
This is group 17.
