How do elements in a period behave?
bad
What information can you gather from the position of an element in the periodic table?
From the location on a periodic table, it is possible to tell how some elements will behave. Elements in one group usually have similar characteristics.
What atom will behave like Na?
All of the elements in group 1 on the periodic table will behave similarly to sodium.
What element would you expect to behave the most like calcium?
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
What does the study of the periodic table have to do with classification and prediction?
The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged so that elements in the same group (column) will exhibit certain similar characteristics with others in that same group, but different periods (rows). So you can predict, with a certain degree of confidence, how a certain element may behave by where it is located on the periodic table, based on what you know about how other elements in the same group behave. This is mainly due to the valence electrons (the outermost electrons) being the same configuration as others in the same group. The valence electrons are a big determining factor as how that element will react with other elements. They do not all behave exactly the same, but similar.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
How do atoms of metalloids behave when combined with atoms of other elements'?
they can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So depending on the conditions these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetals
How do elements in a period behave?

What do you mean by the Elements behavior?
the elements all behave differently an elements behaviors are what happens when they are reacted upon
What element has both metallic and nonmetallic properties?
We generally refer to these elements as semiconductors. There is something akin to a "diagonal line of elements" in the periodic table that separates the metals from the nonmetals. Elements on the left of this diagonal are metals, and elements on the right are nonmetals. The elements that make up this diagonal are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, polonium, and astatine, and they have both metallic and nonmetallic properties. awesome mean something good.

What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?
their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.
What atom will behave like Na?
All of the elements in group 1 on the periodic table will behave similarly to sodium.
Do incects behave differently depending on the temperature?
yes
The study of how people or firms behave in strategic situation is called?
game theory
Groups of atoms that behave as though they were but one single atom are called?
Elements
What does 'you are a sneak' mean?
The word sneak has 2 meanings: # To go or move in a quiet, stealthy way. # To behave in a cowardly or servile manner. Depending on the situation you faced you may come into any of the 2 mentioned above...
