how many electrons it has---how many valence electrons and how many levels of electrons.
its Atomic Mass
its atomic number

∙ 13y agoYou can predict just about everything about an element based on its location on the Periodic Table. Elements in each group (column) have the same number of valence electrons, giving them similar characteristics, while elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels of electrons, giving them similar characteristics. There are general trends in the periodic table for different characteristics, but I will not go into very little depth on this subject. For example, Atomic Mass increases as you go to the right across the periodic table and as you go down the periodic table because it is arranged by ascending atomic number.

∙ 9y agoMany of the Rules that can be Predicted by the Periodic Table have exceptions to them, however the traits I list include exceptions.
1. Atomic Number
- The table is ordered by increasing atomic number so it natural that one could predict this.
2. the charge of the element's ion.
- Ignore The transition metals (they're special)
- Li, and its column have a charge of +1
- Be have a charge of +2
- B +3
- C +4 or -4
- N -3
- O -2
- F -1
- He 0
3. Size of an Atom
- increases from top to bottom as more s orbitals are added
- decreases from left to right as electrons shells are filled
- Decreases Top to bottom
- Increases left to right
- Nonmetals in the upper right corner tend to be non conductive, brittle, and non-ductile.

How are the trends in the periodic table helpful in identifying an element?
The periodic trends that arise from the arrangement of the periodic table provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or period and the periodic nature of the elements.
Dmitri Mendeleev was particularly important why?
He is important because he was the person who invented the Periodic Table and made it how it is today
What is the importance of valence electrons in the organization of the periodic table?
The importance of valence electrons is that atoms in the same group ("groups" in the periodic table are the vertical columns- for example, nickel and platinum are in the tenth column; therefore, in the same group). Atoms of elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, so they have similar properties. Hope that helped with your homework! ;D
Element named after the father of the periodic table?
mendelevium
Why did Dmitri mendeleev reverse the order of some elements in the periodic table?
He was bold enough to reverse the order of some pairs of elements and to predict that their atomic masses were incorrect. Some of these predictions were correct, but others were not, because we now know that the fundamental basis of the periodic table is atomic number rather than atomic mass.
What can you predict about an element from its position in the periodic?
You can see if its a metalliod or a metal or a non-metal.
Can the periodic table predict the number of isotopes of elements?
No. The position of an element in the periodic table cannot predict the number of isotopes it has. However, the position of an element in the periodic table can predict other properties like the charge of its ion, the formula of its oxide, the acidic or basic nature of its oxide, etc.
What can you predict about an element by its position on the periodic table?
By the position of an element on the periodic table you can tell how many protons the element has in it by looking at the number above the elements symbol. You can also find the electron configuration with that same number then you can and you can you can also tell if it is f1, f2,f3...s1,s2,d1,d2...
Why is the periodic table more successful than other proceeding attempts?
Because the elements are grouped according to similar characteristics. Even by knowing where an element is on the periodic table based solely on its proton number, we can still predict its properties by using its position on the periodic table.
What can you predict an element from it's position in the periodic table?
how many electrons it has---how many valence electrons and how many levels of electrons. its Atomic Mass its atomic number
How can you predict a melting point?
Depending on the position of an element on the periodic table, one can know if it is a gas, liquid or metal. With that information, predicting the melting point is easy.
Which scientific method could be used to predict the properties of an element?
Periodic table
Use periodic in a sentence?
Some stocks have periodic rises and falls. The periodic table lists every element know on Earth. Periodic events are easy to predict.
What can you use the Periodic Table of Elements for to predict about the elements?
An element's physical and chemical properties. You can also predict what elements will bond with each other.
How would you predict where it would fit in the periodic table if you did not know it's atomic number?
I'm assuming you have the internet because you used this website. look up an online periodic table and find the element you need on the table

These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or period and the periodic nature of the elements.
How can the periodic table be used to predict the properties of an element that has not been discovered?
It can't. the properties of an element determine it's group placement, without knowledge of these properties (or, indeed, the element itself) it would be impossible to place an element in it's proper place on the periodic table.
