What is the significance of the periodic law in the context of the periodic table?

• It states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers.

• It describes the arrangement of electrons around an atom's nucleus.

• It predicts the chemical reactions between elements.

• It defines the atomic structure of elements.
