whatdo element in 4th period have in common
they have the same energy levels
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
Every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. It goes down the periodic table like that. This also means that the atomic weight of the elements gets larger and larger in each period.
Potassium (K) is a metal in Group I of the Periodic Table of the Elements. K has an atomic number of 19 and a molecular weight of 39.10 grams per mole.
Every element in the first period has only one orbit. This means that they can have only a duplet in their valence shell, which happens to be their only electronic shell. The elements included in the first period are Hydrogen and Helium.
NOTHIN !
they are the least reactive elements
they have the same energy levels
GROUPS have more in common than PERIODS. I don't know why, I just know the answer.From, Bryan Hollick
Least reactive

Three electrons in their valency orbit.
All of these elements belong to same period. The period number is 3.
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
The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.
A period is a row of elements
Arsenic, which is in the 15th group 4th period of the periodic table of elements and has an atomic number of 33.
