the number of electrons changes with the number of protons, and the number of protons = the atomic # (represented with "Z"). The numbers increase by 1 each step to the right, then continues each row down.

What are periods and groups?

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in periods (rows) and groups (columns). Atomic number increases as you move across a row or period. The period number of an element signifies the highest unexcited energy level for an electron in that element. Elements within a group share several common properties. Groups are elements have the same outer electron arrangement. The outer electrons are called valence electrons.


What is one way a liquid can change to a solid?

A liquid can change to a solid through a process called freezing or solidification, where the molecules slow down and lose energy, causing them to form a rigid, structured arrangement.


What happens when ionization energy change when moving down a group of elements?

the ionization energy is increased because of electronegativity when we move down the group the electronegativity is decrees who hold all electrons hardly to gather that's why the electrons loose easily and become an ion.


What is the change when a liquid turns to a solid?

When a liquid turns into a solid, the molecules slow down and come closer together, forming a more ordered and structured arrangement known as a crystalline structure. This change releases energy in the form of heat.


When making a table do the columns go across or down?

In a table, columns go across from left to right, and rows go down from top to bottom. Each column typically represents a different attribute or variable, while each row represents a separate entry or data point.

The motion slows down, and the arrangement normally packs closer together.


What are the columns going up and down on the periodic table called?

The columns going up and down on the periodic table are called "groups" or "families." Each group/family contains elements with similar chemical properties due to the same number of electrons in their outer shell.


Do columns go across?

No that would be rows. Columns go down.

Groups are made of these columns that go up and down?

Groups in the periodic table are made of columns that go up and down and are called groups or families. Each group/family has elements that share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost energy level.


Rows go up and down?

No - columns go up and down.
