I wish they were just called rows and columns.

For anyone confused, groups go top to bottom and periods go from left to right

[Someone]

You mixed up the periods and groups in the beginning

(Out of character) This is such a life saver, especially with online school its hard to keep up with teachers, so this really helped!Hopefully i do well on my test.

This is what i wanted. I just started learning periodic table and your taught the basics thanks

[AwesomeSauceChiz]

Your voice is beautiful. I could listen to you all day. If only all professors were like this.

[zidanidane]

you do not know how much i want to thank you, i suffer from ADHD and while the teatcher was explaining the periodic table in class, i was "au claire de la lune"

Didn't have science in 2 years, so i'm glad this video is here. Thanks for not privatizing the video and giving me a nice refresh.

Great job! I really appreciate this video. It's very straight to the point and explained in an easy to grasp way.

[hanbanfrogman]

Thanks so much but what about the little chunk in the middle of the table when you were explaining the groups? Do they caount as a column? cuz when i google it it says that there are 18 columns

[AleksaProject]

This is so much clearer than to what they explained in school. Thumbs up!

[bcorbett]

At the beginning you state periods go down and groups going across.  Then shortly after it is corrected in the video.  This might be a little confusing to people who are just learning this for the first time

[lolitcbls]

simply presented but so comprehensive...very well done! Thanks for sharing... Keep it up!

[randomarab]

Thank you so much! My teacher was sick so he couldn't talk about groups and now I have a project. This video really helped!

[jeneciabarreto]

[tiannahjankey]

[mamafashionstore]

Thanks for making this video. It had helped me in understanding the group and periods in the periodic table.

[charliej]

YEEESSSS! I finally understand the periodic table. You are awesome!

[LUVABLENELENA]

I would like to point out one flaw in this video:
going from left to right are GROUPS
going from top to bottom are PERIODS

Thanks for the lesson!
