Among the ones listed above, the statement that best describes the way that the periodic table is arranged is " The nonmetals are grouped together, which the exception of hydrogen. " It can be seen that all of the nonmetals are placed on the far right of the periodic table except for hydrogen. They do not belong in a single column and are separated from the metals by the metalloids. Moreover, the elements are placed in the periodic table in increasing atomic number.
