# Elements and the famous members of the periodic table, sentence 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Scientists put the elements in order of how many protons their atoms have, and elements that behave alike end up in the same column, like families.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Scientists, atoms, elements · **What happens:** put, have, behave, end up, order · **To what, where:** elements, order, many protons, same column

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Elements and the famous members of the periodic table» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Scientists, atoms, elements), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

**The tree:** Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R1-cc-next ×1, R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×1. **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
