They have the smallest nuclear charge of that period so there is less attraction for the electron allowing a larger orbital radius (larger size).
Each (horizontal) row is called a '''period''', whereas each (vertical) column is called a group.
The group of elements with two valence electrons in each period is known as the alkaline earth metals. These elements include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They are located in group 2 of the periodic table.
Nitrogen is period 2, group 15. sodium is period 3 group 1, iodine is period5 group 17. mercury is period 6 group 12.
Elements are placed in a group based on their similar chemical properties, such as reactivity and valence electrons. Elements are placed in a period based on the number of electron shells they have. Each period corresponds to the electron shell number of the elements in that period.
The Periodic Table contains all the known elements and information about each of the elements, such as atomic number, atomic mass, group, period and symbol.
Each element in a period is in a transitional metal.
what property does each of the elements have
Each group has a group number.
The word "period" in the term "periodic table" represents the rows of elements in the table that share similar chemical properties. Each period corresponds to the number of electron shells in an atom.
In the modern periodic table, a bridge is a group of elements that connects the main body of the table. These include elements such as lanthanides and actinides. Typical elements are the main group elements found on the left and right sides of the periodic table, and they generally display similar chemical properties within each group.
the number of protons
elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons
