Answer

'into families with similar properties'.

Explanation

The periodic table is a systematic way of organizing the chemical elements. It was first developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in the late 19th century. The elements in the periodic table are arranged according to their atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The elements are also grouped into 'families' or 'groups' based on their similar chemical properties. These families include, for example, the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, the transition metals, the halogens, and the noble gases. The elements are not organized alphabetically or according to color, and while some elements are gases at room temperature, others are solids or liquids. Therefore, the correct answer is 'into families with similar properties'.
