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

How does chemical reactivity change as you move across the periodic table?

Chemical reactivity first decreases.then it increases as we move across a period.


What happens to the properties of elements across any periodic of the table?

Across any period, the properties of elements gradually change. This gradual change is called a periodic trend.


Properties of elements change according to a pattern across the?

Groups of the Periodic Table of Elements.


How does reactivity change as you move across the periodic table?

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.


What is true about the properties of the elements in any one period of the Periodic Table?

All of the elements in any one period of the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons.


How does the the reactivity of metals change when moving from left to right on the periodic table?

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.


How do elements change going down the periodic table?

Down a group, the atomic number generally increases, size increases, ionization energy decreases, reactivity increases.


What do vertical colums represent in the periodic table?

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.


Do elements change from metals to non metals from left to right?

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.


How does the electronegativity of elements change across a period?

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.


What happens to valence electrons as you move across the row?

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.


What happens to the state of matters you go across the periodic table?

Across the period (left to right), the elements tend to change from solids (metals) to gases (non metals).
