^a Group 1 is composed of hydrogen (H) and the alkali metals. Elements of the group have one s-electron in the outer electron shell. Hydrogen is not considered to be an alkali metal as it is not a metal, though it is more analogous to them than any other group. This makes the group somewhat exceptional.
^b The 14 f-block groups (columns) do not have a group number.
^c The correct composition of group 3 is scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), lutetium (Lu), and lawrencium (Lr), as shown here: this is endorsed by 1988^[1] and 2021^[2] IUPAC reports on the question. General inorganic chemistry texts often put scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), and actinium (Ac) in group 3, so that Ce–Lu and Th–Lr become the f-block between groups 3 and 4; this was based on incorrectly measured electron configurations from history,^[3] and Lev Landau and Evgeny Lifshitz already considered it incorrect in 1948.^[4] Arguments can still occasionally be encountered in the contemporary literature purporting to defend it, but most authors consider them logically inconsistent.^[5]^[6]^[7] Some sources follow a compromise that puts La–Lu and Ac–Lr as the f-block rows (despite that giving 15 f-block elements in each row, which contradicts quantum mechanics), leaving the heavier members of group 3 ambiguous.^[2] See also Group 3 element#Composition.
^d Group 18, the noble gases, were not discovered at the time of Mendeleev's original table. Later (1902), Mendeleev accepted the evidence for their existence, and they could be placed in a new "group 0", consistently and without breaking the periodic table principle.
^r Group name as recommended by IUPAC.

Periodic table templates and files

((Navbox periodic table)) ((Sidebar periodic table))

Column counts are columns only that contain elements. "Compact cells" denote cells with element symbol only, have navbox style and the table fits basic wiki page width (1024×768). "Detailed cells" have more data, and may cause page width excess (scroll bar added). "Extended" periodic tables are about theoretical periods 8 and higher (element 119 and higher).

Table forms

Standard	18 columns: ((Basic)) image:Periodic table 32 columns: ((Micro cells (box))) ((bare)) ((Compact))
Extended	Standard ((Extended, 32 columns, navbox)) by Aufbau ((50 columns, period 8)) ((50 columns, compact))
Alternative structure	Left step by Janet: ((Left step (with shell filling sequence)))
