The correct answer is: **Elements with similar properties are grouped together in a pattern.**
This unique organization of the periodic table reflects the periodic law, which states that the properties of elements recur periodically when they are arranged by increasing atomic number. Elements in the same group (column) often exhibit similar chemical and physical properties.
