The period number of an element in the Periodic Table is the number of the highest electron shell that is occupied in the ground state of the element, and the column number, if the number has only one digit, or the last digit of the column number, if the number has two digits, is the number of valence electrons in the element, except for columns 8, 9, and 10. (For the elements in columns 3 through 11, the nominal number of valence electrons may or may not correspond to the most usual number of electrons donated, accepted, or shared in bond formation by an atom of the element.)
Each element is distinguished by having one more proton than the element to its immediate left in a row, or one more proton than the element at the far right of the preceding row if the element is in column 1 and therefore has no element to its immediate left. Hydrogen is in column 1 and the only other element in the first period, helium, is in column 18. In the next two periods, columns 3 through 12 are skipped in filling the table, and in the sixth and seventh periods, column 3 is expanded into a separate row of fourteen elements at the bottom of the main table before another atom is put into column 4.

Did Hieroglyphics being read horizontally or vertically depend on the time period?
hieroglyphics are almost always read vertically. (that is how the ancient Egyptians intended it to be read.)
What is each horizontal row of the periodic table called?
vertically they're called groups and horizontally periods
What is group 17 period 5 on the periodic table?
Group 17 in period 5 of the periodic table corresponds to the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that have seven valence electrons.
What is the difference between a period and a group in the periodic table?
Groups run vertically downwards and periods run horizontally from left to right. The group number of an element usually tells the number of valence electrons (free electrons) in its atom and the period number tells the number of shells an atom possesses e.g. elements of group 3 will have 3 shells in total. Hope this helps :)
How does atomic radius increase or decrease horizontally or vertically across the periodic table?
Across a period (horizontal), atomic radius decreases due to increasing nuclear charge pulling electrons closer. Down a group (vertical), atomic radius increases due to the addition of new energy levels further from the nucleus.
What is a row of elements across the periodic table called?
Well, darling, a row of elements across the periodic table is called a period. It's like a little family reunion where elements with similar properties get together and show off their atomic numbers in style. So, next time you see a row of elements lined up, just remember they're strutting their stuff in a period.
An elements blank is its row in the periodic table?
The periodic table is an arrangement of the elementsfound in nature.
How many elements in the first period?
Period 1: 2 elements Period 2: 8 elements Period 3: 8 elements Period 4: 18 elements Period 5: 18 elements Period 6: 32 elements Period 7: 25 elements
What is an elements period?
A period is a row of elements
Which direction do periods go on the periodic table?
In the periodic table of the elements, a period is a horizontal row of the table. Elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels.
What periods are in the lanthanides and actinides?
The lanthanides are in period 6, the actinides in the 7th period. Periods are numbered vertically (down from the top) but run across the Periodic Table in rows. The columns, sometimes called "groups", are numbered horizontally from left to right but actually run from top to bottom. The lanthanides and actinides are all in column 3, but, because they take up so much room in the periodic table, are placed below it.,
In what period are lanthanides and actinides?
