E N D
Periods run across in rows.Periods correspond with energy levels
Groups run down in columns.Groups correspond with the number of electrons found in the outermost energy level
Metals are found on the LHS and Non-metals on the RHS METALS NON-METALS

The elements found between the metals and non-metals have properties similar to both. . . .
We call these the SEMI-METALS METALS NON-METALS
