The rows identify the electrons from 1 - 8. You must ignore transition metals for this to work.
Explanation:
The rows identify the electrons from 1 - 8. You must ignore transition metals for this to work.
Additionally, you can use the column (again, ignoring transition metals) to find the number of orbits in Bohr-Rutherford diagram.
Hope this helps :)
