Elements in the same group have more in common than elements in the same period, because elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.

Are Physical properties within a period are more alike than physical properties within a group?

No, the physical properties within a group are more alike than those of a period. This is because all elements in a group share the number of valence electrons.


What are the trends and exceptions to the trends in electron affinity?

Down the group electron affinity decreases Across a period electron affinity increases. However, it should be noted that chlorine is having higher electron affinity than flourine due to the small size of fluorine atom)

Group 1 elements are more reactive than that of group 2 elements.


Why is there a sudden jump in the atomic radius in elements in group 18 and the next higher element in the next period in group 1?

When the element moves from group 18 to group 1, it moves to a new period. Each period has a one more electron shell than the previous. The group 1 element has one more electron shell than the group 18 element; hence, it's atomic radius is greater.


What happens to the reactivity of elements in a group labeled A as atomic numbers increase across period?

they become more reactive since you are moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements in group 17 are the most reactive.


Why group 12 is more reactive?

The elements from the group 12 are not the most reactive chemical elements.

What was a logical way to group elements as more and more elements were discovered?

The logical way is to be remembered that chemical properties of elements have a periodic character.
