Best Answer

the number of electrons changes with the number of protons, and the number of protons = the atomic # (represented with "Z"). The numbers increase by 1 each step to the right, then continues each row down.

The tendency to gain an electron increases as you move from left to right in PERIODIC TABLE...

FACTORS ENHANCING THE INCREASE IN GAINING OF ELECTRON

1.increase in charge

2.constant screening effect

3.increase in electron affinity

4.increase in elecronegativity

When going down the Periodic Table the atom size changes. The atoms increase in size because of the effects of a nuclear charge.

When making a table do the columns go across or down?

Up and down.


What happens when ionization energy change when moving down a group of elements?

the ionization energy is increased because of electronegativity when we move down the group the electronegativity is decrees who hold all electrons hardly to gather that's why the electrons loose easily and become an ion.


What is the difference between a period and a group on the periodic table?

Periods on the periodic table go across and are based on the number of unexcited electrons increasing as you read across. Groups on the periodic table are read down the table and share the same number of valence electrons.


When moving down a group ( family) in the periodic table the number of valence electrons?

When moving down a group, the number of valence electrons do not change. This similarity yields the elements in the same groups to have same chemical properties. For example, elements in group 17 obtain one electron to stabilize as -1 ion.In a group, all the elements have a same number of valence electrons. So their chemical properties are equal. But the physical properties vary.Valence electrons are the electrons in outermost shell.The valence electrons remain same in a group. For example-Group-1 elements have 1 valence electron.


What are periods and groups?

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in periods (rows) and groups (columns). Atomic number increases as you move across a row or period. The period number of an element signifies the highest unexcited energy level for an electron in that element. Elements within a group share several common properties. Groups are elements have the same outer electron arrangement. The outer electrons are called valence electrons.
