When you read the periodic table top to bottom the number of electron energy level increase or decrease?
Increases.
What happens to the atomic radius as you go down the metals What happens to the reactivity?
Examples for the groups I an II of the periodic table:- the atomic radius grows from top to bottom- the electronegativity descends from top to bottom
Is oxygen an nonmetal?
Yes, of course. It is an element found in the right side of the periodic table of elements. You can tell the level of an element being non-metallic by following the flow of left-to-right and bottom-to-top.
How does the reactivity of the atoms in the periodic table change as you go from top to bottom?
As I understand it scientists took an educated guess at the Hydrogen Atom and all the rest were extrapolated from there.
What happens to the reactivity of a nonmetal when you move from left to right in a group?
The reactivity of a non metal decreases as you move down a group. This is because the size of the atomic radius increases and when the distance to the nucleus increases, the force of attraction decreases. Electrons are not pulled as strongly to larger atoms, and so larger atoms are not as reactive.

Which general trends first ionization energy and electronegativity values are demonstrated by group 15 elements as they are considered in order from top to bottom?
Their metallic properties increase and their atomic radii increase.This can be checked with the Reference Table S with the atomic radii and metallic properties. Easy, right?

Yes, of course. It is an element found in the right side of the periodic table of elements. You can tell the level of an element being non-metallic by following the flow of left-to-right and bottom-to-top.

Towards the bottom of the periodic table does the atomic mass increase or decrease?
Towards the bottom, atomic mass increases. Atomic number also increases.
Where is the most active metal located on the periodic table Where is the most active nonmetal located?
The most active metal is francium (Fr). It is located farthest to the left and at the bottom. The most active nonmetal is fluorine (F). It is located at the top of Group 17 (the halogens).
What happens to the reactivity of a nonmetal when you move from left to right in a group?
The reactivity of a non metal decreases as you move down a group. This is because the size of the atomic radius increases and when the distance to the nucleus increases, the force of attraction decreases. Electrons are not pulled as strongly to larger atoms, and so larger atoms are not as reactive.
Where is platinum on the reactivity scale?
Right at the bottom.
Is radon a metal or a nonmetal?
Radon is an inert or noble gas, and that's as far from being a metal as an element can get. You'll find radon at the bottom of the Group 18 elements (naturally) on the periodic table. Use the link below for more information.
Does the first ionization energy increase or decrease from top to bottom in periodic table for the alkali metal family?
It decreases as the atom radius gets larger, so it decreases from top to bottom.
As elements of group 1 of the periodic table are considered in order from top to bottom ionization of a element decreases this decrease is do to?
Increasing radius and increasing shield effect.
