Explanation:

The modern Periodic Table uses #"atomic number"#, #Z#, as the defining criterion. And #Z# specifies the number of protons, massive, positively charged particles, present in the nucleus. #Z=1#, the element is hydrogen; #Z=2#, the element is helium; #Z=3#, the element is lithium;...................#Z=22#, the element is titanium.
