Chemically they do NOT share any properties.

The periods of The Periodic Table is shown in the column to the left of the elements. It represents the number of "shells" of electrons that the particular element contains. There are up to 7 shells (K,L,M,N,...) thus also 7 periods.

While the first (K) shell is completed with two electrons (elements H and He),

in period 2 the second (L) shell is filling up with 1 up to 8 electrons. Atom numbers range from 3 (for Li, Lithium) to 10 (for Ne, Neon).

(Chemically speaking they do NOT share any properties.

You'll find comparable chemical properties among elements within the same GROUP

For example group 2 are bi-valent (+2) 'earth metal' elements, Mg, Ca, Ba, etc.)

electronegativity

Sorry, but this is wildly incorrect. The electronegativity of Li is 1.0 while that of F is 4.0! The short answer to this question is: almost nothing! The elements in periods (rows) do not have commonality except for their quantum number indicating the energy level of the shell, in this case N = 2. Elements in groups (columns) have many things in common, elements in periods do not.

They are all metals.They all have two electrons in their outermost shell.They all tend to lose electrons and become positive ions.They all have similar chemical properties.

What is special about a period on the periodic table?

all elements in a period all have the same amount of shells example: all elements in period 1 has only 1 shell all elements in period 2 has 2 shells so the period number is the same as the number of shells in that period


What is formed when 2 elements conbine?

A compound. Depending on the elements combined, the compound may or may not have the same characteristics as the original elements.


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


Is oxygen and Fluorine in the same period on the periodic table?

Yes, oxygen and fluorine are present in the same period on the periodic table.These elements are present in period-2.


What is the pattern in a period on the periodic table?

all elements in a period have the same amount of orbitals and if an element is in period 2 it has 2 orbitals if it is in period 3 it has 3 orbitals ..etc


What do the elements copper calcium and bromine have in common?

they are all in the same period and they all have the same valance number (+2)


How are families within the periodic table similar?

Elements within the same period have the their valence electrons in the same principle energy level. For example, those elements in period 2, have their valence electrons in the 2nd energy level.


Is nitrogen in the same period as phosphorus?

No, nitrogen and phosphorous are in different periods. Nitrogen is in period 2, while phosphorous is in period 3. However, both elements are in the same group, group 15.


Name the element in group 5 which is in the same period as boron?

There is no element that has been found yet with those characteristics ( group 5, period 2)


What do elements in a group have?

Elements in a group have very similar properties and characteristics. Every element in a group has the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. For Example, all elements in Group 2 - Alkaline Earth Metals have 2 electrons in their outer shell. Elements in the same group also have very similar characteristics such as what they react with etc. For Example:Group 2 - Alkali Metals - All react vigourously in Water.Group 18(0) - Inert Gases - All are highly unreactive.


What is the correlation of a period number with the elements of that period?

all the elements in period 1 have one energy level, all the elements in period 2 have two energy levels, all the elements in period 3 have 3 energy levels... and so on
