Attempts of elements classification: The fundamentals of the periodic table

The video explains that atoms are the fundamental units of matter, and elements are substances made of one type of atom. The periodic table organizes elements by atomic numbers and properties into periods (horizontal rows) and groups (vertical columns). Each period and group has specific characteristics, such as the number of electron orbitals or outer shell electrons. The atomic number increases across periods and down groups, providing a systematic way to study elements.
