Periodic Law

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize a bookshelf where each book's position is determined by its height. Just like arranging books by height gives you a predictable pattern as you look across the shelf, the periodic law arranges elements in a predictable pattern based on their atomic numbers. Just as the height of each book dictates its position and allows you to anticipate the arrangement, the atomic number of each element dictates its properties, allowing scientists to predict the characteristics of elements as you move across the periodic table.
