Periods are horizontal (left to right) and there is seven of them in the periodic table.
Metals, Non-Metals, and Metalloids
Nonmetal on the right
Metalliod are in the middle on the staircase line.
Atomic number, Atomic mass, Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
To find neutrons you have to find the atomic mass and round it to the nearest whole number then subtract by the number of protons or electrons.
The periodic table is organized by increasing atomic number.
Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Law of Conservation of Mass

Radioactive decay is the process of by which a nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing radiation.
