Question

Why is the organization of the periodic table by physical properties not very useful?

Answer 1

It shows no regular pattern

Step-by-step explanation:

Physical properties of an element are those we can observe and feel with our senses. Also, the use special equipment can enhance our perception of these properties.

• The same physical property can be shared different number elements.
• On the periodic table, all the elements in group 1 and 2 are metals.
