    You know I am legitimately trying to figure out now if there are "Periodic table of [other things]" now. Like is the "Periodic Table" portion still specific to "The Periodic Table of Elements" or is it the "of elements" portion that defines it? Like would this be the "Periodic Table of Abortion Rights States"?

          It's both. Proton number increases as you move from top left to bottom right, but electron number also increases. The rows represent the highest occupied orbitals and columns represent how many electrons are in that orbital. https://chem.libretexts.org/@api/deki/files/1281/PeriodicTable2.jpg
