Which direction are families on the periodic table?
groups on the periodic table are the vertical coumns that go up and down. A period on the periodic table are the rows that go horizontal or across.
Do periods go across or down?
Periods go across the periodic table. Groups go down.
What are the names of the periods on the periodic table?
Periods are the elements on the periodic table that go across, in rows. So basically going across each row is called a period
What are the seven rows of the periodic table are commonly called?
groups go vertically and periods are the horizontal rows
When you go across the periodic table how does the atomic size go?
Atomic size decreases across the rows of the periodic table
Which direction are families on the periodic table?
groups on the periodic table are the vertical coumns that go up and down. A period on the periodic table are the rows that go horizontal or across.
How are groups on a periodic table numberd?
From right to left (1- 18) on the periodic table. Instead of up and down (1-7) periods go vertically. (rows) groups go horizontally. (columns)
Do periods go across or down?
Periods go across the periodic table. Groups go down.
What do groups go by on the periodic table?
elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons.
What category of elements is the most common in the periodic table and where is that category found in the periodic table?
The transition metals are the most common, and are found in the middle (groups 3-12) of the periodic table.
What are the names of the periods on the periodic table?
Periods are the elements on the periodic table that go across, in rows. So basically going across each row is called a period
What are the seven rows of the periodic table are commonly called?
groups go vertically and periods are the horizontal rows
What is the difference between a period and a group on the periodic table?
Periods on the periodic table go across and are based on the number of unexcited electrons increasing as you read across. Groups on the periodic table are read down the table and share the same number of valence electrons.
What does GO stand for in the periodic table?
there is no Go on the periodic table, there is Gd, Ga, Ge, but no Go. Hope this helped!
What is a period in a periodic table?
a row going acrossNOT to be confused with groups or families which go down in columns and have to do with valence electrons
What is group 17 period 5 on the periodic table?
Iodine. (Always remember, groups go horizontally, periods go vertically) -Ali, Muhammad.
When you go across the periodic table how does the atomic size go?
Atomic size decreases across the rows of the periodic table
