A row of elements across the periodic table is called a period. Periods represent the number of electron shells in an atom.
Period
A horizontal row on the periodic table of elements is called a period.
Across a period, as we move from left to right, the electronegativity increases in the periodic table.
Atomic size decreases across a period
The radius of an atom typically decreases when moving from left to right across a period in the periodic table due to increasing nuclear charge. It increases when moving down a group in the periodic table due to the addition of energy levels.
The periodic table is an arrangement of the elementsfound in nature.

the atomic number.
Horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods. Each period represents the number of energy levels or electron shells that an atom's valence electrons occupy. Moving from left to right across a period, the number of protons and electrons increases.
Periods (across the Periodic Table) have increasing Atomic Mass. Groups (down the table) have similar properties and reactive natures.
