Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the periodic table uses colors to categorize elements into different groups based on their chemical properties.
Recall the common groups of elements: Halogens (Group 17), Transition metals (Groups 3-12), Alkali metals (Group 1), and Noble gases (Group 18).
Recognize that noble gases are known for being inert and are often highlighted distinctly on periodic tables.
Note that neon green is frequently used to represent noble gases because of their unique, non-reactive nature.
Therefore, the neon green color on many periodic tables indicates the group of elements known as the noble gases.
