Answer: The statement is true.

Explanation:

The statement, currently the periodic table is arranged by increasing atomic number and a clear pattern of properties is true.

According to the current period table, atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number from left to right in every period. Also, chemical properties of an element depend on the number of valence electrons.

Therefore, elements in a group represent similar chemical properties as they have same number of valence electrons.
