When you move from left to right on the periodic table what are some of the major changes?
When you move from left to right on the periodic table, the atomic number of the elements increase.
How are elements arranged on the periodic table in order of electrons?
The number of electrons in the atom increase from left to right and then from top to bottom.
What happens to the atomic number as you go from left to right across the periodic table and why does this happen?
Periods on the periodic table refer to the rows of elements. As the elements progress to the right, the atomic numbers increase, usually in steps of 1.
Where are most massive elements found on the periodic table?
Bttom right of the Periodic Table
What does it mean when elements are on the right of the periodic table of elements?
The Elements on the far right side of the Periodic Table of the Elements are known as the Nobel Gasses.
How do protons increase on the periodic table?
they increase left to right
Where on the periodic table are elements which the highest atomic mass?
The elements with the highest mass are on the bottom right of the periodic table.
Where are the heaviest elements on the periodic table?
At the lower right corner of the Periodic Table.
What happens to the atomic mass of elements as you move across and down the periodic table?
the choices are: A. They increase from left to right and top to bottom. B. They increase from left to right and bottom to top. C. They increase from right to left and top to bottom. D. They increase from right to left and bottom to top.
Is periodicity defined as the fact that elements increase in atomic mass in a regular way?
No, the periodicity of the Periodic Table of Elements refers to the fact that the chemical properties of elements vary in a periodic way, from metals on the left hand side of the table to non-metals and then to noble gases in the far right hand column. Each row goes through the same variations. There is nothing periodic about the increase in mass; that would be described as a linear progression rather than a periodic phenomenon.
What are the characteristics of a period in the periodic table?
Elements in a period all have the same number of electron shells (excepting the transition elements). Also, electronegativity increases left to right and up, and atomic radii increase right to left and down.
What are the elements called to the right of the zigzag on the periodic table?
The elements to the right of that zigzag are called "non-metals"
