A period in the periodic table is a row of chemical elements. All elements in a row have the same number of electron shells. Each next element in a period has one more proton and is less metallic than its predecessor.

What are 2 characteristics of elements in the same period?

What are the characteristics of a period ?

  1. The first period elements (H and He) have only one shell- K-shell. K-shell starts getting filled at H (K ;1), and is completely filled atomic He (K;2).
  2. The second period elements (Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F and Ne) have two shells- K and L shells. ...
  3. Third period elements have three shells – K, L and M shells. ...

Why are elements put together in the same period?

All the elements in a period have valence electrons in the same shell. The number of valence electrons increases from left to right in the period. When the shell is full, a new row is started and the process repeats.

What do the elements in each period have in common?

The elements which are in the same groups have the same number of valence electrons (i.e same number of electrons in the outermost shell). Also they possess almost similar properties. Yes there are also few exceptions in the elements of d-block and f-block. But in general, for the main group elements (s-block and p-block), the elements of same ...

Do elements in same period have same chemical properties?

Yes - elements grouped in periods share similar chemical properties due to the similarities in their configuration of their outer-most electron valence shells. There are always exceptions and the transition metals within the periodic tables don't really belong to specific periods as they do display multiple valencies.

What does it mean if an element is in the same period?

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Meanwhile, elements in the same period have the same number of occupied electron shells.

What do elements in the same period have in common quizlet?

What do elements in the same period have in common? They have the same number of occupied energy levels. What do elements in the same group have in common? They have similar chemical properties and the same number of valence electrons.

Why do elements in the same group have similar properties quizlet?

Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number electrons in their outermost shell.

What properties are generally the same for elements within the same group quizlet?

Elements in the same group have similar Physical and Chemical properties, they also have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell, the valence shell.

Do elements in the same period have similar properties?

They exhibit similar chemical properties. Elements within the same period have different number of electrons in their valence shells (the number is increasing from left to right) and different valence shell electron configuration. Therefore, elements in the same period are chemically different.

What can you infer about elements that are in the same group?

What do elements in the same group have in common? It has the same amount of valence electrons.

What is a period on the periodic table quizlet?

A period of elements on the periodic table is a horizontal row in which all the elements in that row have valence electrons in the same energy level.

What characteristic is the same for all the main-group elements in a group?

The characteristic of main group elements which is same in a given group is- all the elements in a group consist of same number of electrons in their valence shells.
