Describe relationships between elements using the periodic table.HELP?

As you go across the periodic table from left the right the metallic nature decreases and the non- metallic nature increase. As we go down the group of atoms on the metal side the atoms get bigger and being metals loose electrons more easily therefore become more reactive As we go the group of atoms on the non metal side the atoms get smaller and are less likely for electrons to be gained
