The elements in a group have the similar chemical properties dueto presence of same no of electrons in their outermost shell but they differ physically because physical properties are related to their atomic sizes from top to bottom in a group atomic size increases so their physical properties also differ.

How do chemists use the periodic table law to classify elements?

Chemists use the periodic table to classify elements based on their chemical properties and behaviors. Elements are arranged in the table according to their atomic number and electron configuration, which helps determine similarities and patterns in their reactivity and bonding characteristics. This classification system helps chemists predict how elements will interact in chemical reactions.

What characterizes a radioactive element?

A radioactive element is characterized by having unstable atomic nuclei that decay and emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This decay process results in the transformation of the element into a different element or isotope.

Just rows? Vertical ones are columns. In HTML they are <tr> 's, if that's what you mean. Seeing you tagged it as chemistry, you may mean in the priodic table? Those are called periods.


Why did Mendeleev not consider the number of subatomic particles as a way to organize the elements?

The concept of atomic number had not yet been developed at the time of the first periodic tables, when atoms were still considered "indivisible units" and the concepts of protons, electrons, and neutrons were not yet known.
