Columns are vertical, so you are referencing a group of elements. The atomic number increases as you descend from top to bottom.

Rows are horizontal, which references the periods. The atomic number increases as you go from right to left.

How do you state the periodic law?

The periodic law states that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. This means that elements exhibit recurring patterns in their properties as you move across a row or down a column of the periodic table.

When you go down a column on the periodic table how does the atomic size go?

As you go down a column on the periodic table, the atomic size increases. This is because each subsequent element in the column has an additional energy level of electrons, leading to increased distance between the nucleus and the outermost electrons, resulting in larger atomic size.


A Row of elements in the periodic table whose properties change gradually and predictability?

The rows on the Periodic table are called "periods" and the increasing atomic number across a period represents additions to the electron orbitals, which cause the properties manifested by individual elements (elements of the same group, or column, have similar properties).
