The Periodic Table 125
Long Form Periodic Table
Note: In the long form periodic table constructed by Böhr (1920), the groups were numbered from the left as IA, IIA, IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB,
VIIB, VIII, IB, IIB, IIIA, IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA, 0. In Böhr’s periodic table, there are 18 columns but 16 groups.
In IUPAC periodic table, there are 18 vertical columns and 18 groups. These groups are numbered as 1, 2, 3,..., 18, starting from left.
All other features in both the tables are identical.

There are seven (7) horizontal rows called periods in this periodic
table. Thus, there are seven periods in long form periodic table.
First period contains only two elements (atomic nos.: 1 to 2), and is
called the Shortest period.
Second and Third periods contain 8 elements each (atomic nos.:
3 to 10 and 11 to 18, respectively), and are called Short periods.
