this is called periodicity, the chemical properties of elements as you go across a period.
The reactivity would be very great at first, especially if you are only crossing main group elements, and then would become less reactive, then very reactive again, and then one group over they would be completely inert
Reactivity generally decreases as you move from left to right across the periodic table within a period. Atoms on the left have fewer valence electrons and are more reactive in forming bonds compared to atoms on the right, which have more valence electrons and are less inclined to form bonds. However, reactivity tends to increase as you move down a group within the periodic table.
All of the elements in any one period of the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons.
The metals on the left side of the periodic table are considered to be highly reactive to air while in room temperature. The ones on the right side are less reactive and are often used for construction.
Physical and chemical properties change somewhat regularly across a period. Elements that are close to each other in the same period tend to be more similar than elements that are father apart.
The electronegativity of elements generally increases across a period from left to right. This means that elements on the right side of the periodic table tend to attract electrons more strongly than elements on the left side.
Chemical reactivity first decreases.then it increases as we move across a period.
Across any period, the properties of elements gradually change. This gradual change is called a periodic trend.
Groups of the Periodic Table of Elements.

The metals on the left side of the periodic table are considered to be highly reactive to air while in room temperature. The ones on the right side are less reactive and are often used for construction.
Down a group, the atomic number generally increases, size increases, ionization energy decreases, reactivity increases.
Physical and chemical properties change somewhat regularly across a period. Elements that are close to each other in the same period tend to be more similar than elements that are father apart.
Yes, elements generally change from metals to non-metals from left to right across the periodic table. In the periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, and as you move across a period from left to right, the properties of the elements change from metallic to non-metallic. The left side of the periodic table consists of metals, the middle consists of metalloids, and the right side consists of non-metals.
The electronegativity of elements generally increases across a period from left to right. This means that elements on the right side of the periodic table tend to attract electrons more strongly than elements on the left side.
The number of valence electrons remains the same as you move across a row on the periodic table. For example, in row 2 (elements from Li to Ne), all elements have 2 valence electrons. However, the chemical reactivity of these valence electrons can change as you move across the row due to the increasing nuclear charge affecting their interactions with other atoms.
Across the period (left to right), the elements tend to change from solids (metals) to gases (non metals).
