it increases then decreases
The general trend of melting points of elements on the periodic table increases from left to right across a period and decreases down a group.
Across a period, as we move from left to right, the electronegativity increases in the periodic table.
A melting point is a periodic property. Melting point is basically the amount of energy required to break chemical bonds. The more energy required, the stronger the bonds and the higher the melting point. For example, Since Ionic bonds have a transfer of electrons, it requires a lot of energy to break the bonds and has a higher melting point.
Across any period, the properties of elements gradually change. This gradual change is called a periodic trend.
metal--> nonmetal --> metalloid
the mass increases, protons and electrons increase as well
It starts low on the left, rises dramatically towards the middle and falls again on the right.
Across the period (left to right), the elements tend to change from solids (metals) to gases (non metals).
One example of two elements that are side by side but do not follow the general melting point trend for the period are sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg). Sodium has a lower melting point than magnesium, even though it is located to the left of magnesium on the periodic table.
The atomic number increases from left to right across the periodic table because the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom increases. This results in a higher positive charge, leading to a stronger attraction to electrons and a closer binding of electrons to the nucleus.
Question does not make sense. please re-phrase so we can understand what you are trying to get across. Thanks!
