Octet means that there are 8 electrons and its neutral. Electrons will bond to get a full octet.
The elements are arranged on the periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.
Yes
The atomic number of the element is listed. The position of the element describes other behavior.
The answer you are probably looking for is the periodic table, which arranges the elements. The periodic table can help predict properties of an element based on the element's location. All the elements in a veritcle collum (also known as family or group) will have the same number of valence electrons and thus behave in a similar manner. Elements can also be compared to one another on the horizontal axis(the period). i.e. moving from left to right elements become less metalic and do not exibit metallic properties as stongly. General location on the table can tell you what type of element it is; metal, nonmetal, metalloid/semimetal. or the # of protons and electrons in the element, the atomic mass.
Most elements are metals - the biggest group is transition metals
D. location on the periodic table
The elements are arranged on the periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.

Reactivity is associated with position. Chemical properties of element can be determined from its position.
The number of protons in the nucleus is equal to an elements atomic number, which determines that element's position in the periodic table.
Elements with same property are grouped together. Property can be estimated by its position.
Examples: atomic weight, density, chemical properties.
An atom's "group" is its column position in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Elements in the same group in the periodic table have similar chemical properties. This is because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level.
the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the valence orbital
Studyisland: sulfur
The number of electrons determines an element's position.
