What are the trends in the valency of the periodic table?

The trend for the valence electron(s) is mostly significant to the the elements in s and p blocks. In other words groups 1-2 and 13-18 in the modern periodic table. The first four aforementioned groups have 1, 2, 3 and 4 electrons which can be shared with an other atom. The elements in groups 15, 16 and 17 are tend to obtain electrons from other elements 3, 2 and 1 respectively. The group 18 elements are naturally inert because they do not have valence electrons.


What trends in the elements properties do you notice about elements that are in the same group?

Elements in the same group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. This leads to similarities in reactivity, bonding behavior, and chemical reactions among elements in the same group. Additionally, elements in the same group tend to show patterns in atomic size, ionization energy, and electronegativity due to the arrangement of electrons in their outer energy levels.


How do you find valency of an element?

The number of electrons in the outermost energy shell is usually used in finding the valency of a given element. For instance elements that have two electrons in the outermost energy shell have valency 2.


How does reactivity work with the elements going down the groups for metals and non metals?

For metals, reactivity generally decreases as you move down a group because the outer electrons are further from the nucleus, making it harder for them to be lost. Nonmetals tend to become more reactive as you move down a group because they have more energy levels and an increased ability to gain electrons. Overall, the reactivity of elements going down a group is influenced by changes in atomic size and electron affinity.


What is the trend in electronegativity of elements when going down the group?

Electronegativity increases as you go along a group/family Everything about elements increases as you go farther down and to the right of the periodic table except the radius, in which the largest elements are at the bottom left, and the smallest at the top right

How does the valency vary on moving down the group?

The valency does not (or tends not to) vary going up and down a group. It varies going across a period.


Does the reactivity of elements in group 2 increase going up or down?

The reactivity is increasing goinng down in the group.

Group or family


What is the name given to the arrangement of elements going up and down on the periodic table?

A group.


How many elements on the periodic table of elements?

In the Periodic table of Elements There are 118 Elements 96 are metals The rest are non-metals Group 7= Halogens Group 8/0= Noble gases Going down group 1 and 2, elements become more reactive

As you move down a group elements have how many electrons shells than those above them?

going down a group, each element gains 1 shell (energy levels)


How do you find valency of an element?

The number of electrons in the outermost energy shell is usually used in finding the valency of a given element. For instance elements that have two electrons in the outermost energy shell have valency 2.


Which elements of the halogen family is the most reactive nonmetal?

Fluorine. One going down the Halogen Group , the elements become less reactive. Compare with the Alkali metals (Grp 1) , which become more reactive on going down the Group from Lithium to Francium.


What is the term for a row of elements going up to down on the periodic table?

Group is a column going up and down; there are 18 groups + two sub-groups (Lanthanides and Actinides, actually both part of group 3) Period is a row, horizontally left to right; there are 7 periods for 118 elements.
