The Periodic Table (or periodic table of elements) is a table of the known elements organised into groups based on properties, and ordered using atomic numbers. Groups are labeled from 1-18 starting on the left with group 1 and ending on the right with group 18. Group 1 contains the alkaline metals and hydrogen. Where as group 18 holds the noble gases. Information that you can gain from the majority of periodic table is: atomic number, weight, and name and symbol. It should be noted that not all periodic tables will contain the information listed before. Many will identify the elements using the symbol
