How does the structure of atoms and molecules affect their behavior? Why has humankind organized the periodic table in such a way? Why did humankind organize the periodic table (as we currently find it)?
The structure refers to the number of bonding sites and where they are located, while the behavior refers to how they form molecules. For example, because oxygen has 2 bonding sites, it bonds with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule. That is the way I interpret that question.
