It increases because as you move down a family / column in a Periodic Table, the amount of protons and electrons increase, creating more rings of electrons on the atom, therefore with more rings, the size of the element increases.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference3 between a family of elements and elements in the same period?
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
Is salt in the column of oxygen in the periodic table of elements?
First off, there is no "salt" on the periodic table of the elements. Salt is a compound. However, you may be talking about "sodium". If that's the case, sodium is NOT in the same column as oxygen in the periodic table. Sodium is in the first column while oxygen is in the sixteenth column.
What is difference between group and period in periodic table?
Groups are vertical columns on the periodic table consisting of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Periods are horizontal rows with elements sharing a highest unexcited electron energy level.
What do you notice about the number of enery level or shells as you move down a group or column in the periodic table?
As you move down a group or column in the periodic table, the number of energy levels or shells increases. Each row in the periodic table represents a different energy level, with elements in the same row having the same number of electron shells.
Are compounds listed in the periodic table?
No, compounds are not listed in the periodic table. The periodic table lists elements, which are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Compounds are formed when elements combine chemically in specific ratios.
Column on a periodic table?
In the periodic table a column is the elements that go down the way.for exampleLiNaKRbCsFrThis is a column and called the Alkali metals. Group 1.A period is when it goes across.
What is the difference3 between a family of elements and elements in the same period?
a family is a column of elements a period is a row of elements
Is salt in the column of oxygen in the periodic table of elements?
First off, there is no "salt" on the periodic table of the elements. Salt is a compound. However, you may be talking about "sodium". If that's the case, sodium is NOT in the same column as oxygen in the periodic table. Sodium is in the first column while oxygen is in the sixteenth column.
How do you state the periodic law?
The periodic law states that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. This means that elements exhibit recurring patterns in their properties as you move across a row or down a column of the periodic table.
What is a row of elements acros the periodic table called?
A PERIOD. NB A columns down the table is a GROUP.
Which is a column running up and down the periodic table?
cluster
Does a period correspond to a column of the periodic table?
Yes. Up and down
Do atoms get larger as they move downward in a column of Periodic Table?
Yes. Atoms get larger as they move downward in a column of periodic table. This is because of increase in number of shells down the group.
How can a scientist using the periodic table find and element with properties similar to another element?
A scientist can find an element with properties similar to another by looking at elements in the same group or column of the periodic table. Elements in the same group tend to have similar chemical properties due to their similar outer electron configurations. This allows scientists to predict the behavior of an element based on its position on the periodic table.
What happens to elements as you move down the periodic table?
they do something
A Row of elements in the periodic table whose properties change gradually and predictability?
The rows on the Periodic table are called "periods" and the increasing atomic number across a period represents additions to the electron orbitals, which cause the properties manifested by individual elements (elements of the same group, or column, have similar properties).
Inert elements occupy what column on the periodic table?
They occupy the far right side of the periodic table which is column 18, they are called noble gases and there is 6 types:Helium / He / 2Neon / Ne / 10Argon / Ar / 18Krypton / Kr / 36Xenon / Xe / 54Radon / Rn / 86Column 18, the most far right one: He, Ne, ...etc...., Rn
