What do group and period represent in the periodic table?

Answer 1

The letter symbols on the Periodic Table represent elements. They are initialisms or abbreviations of the element names, or of their historic, Greek, or Latin names.

For example

Gold is Au (aurium)

Potassium is K, from kalium (Latin)

Mercury is Hg, from hydrargyrum (Latinized Greek for liquid silver)

Tungsten is W for wolfram, an alternate name

Answer 2

Groups in the periodic table represent columns of elements with similar chemical properties, while periods represent rows with increasing atomic numbers and changing properties across the row. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, leading to similar reactivity.

Answer 3

They are the same as saying the columns of a periodic table.

Answer 4

The rows on the periodic table are called periods and the columns are called families

Answer 5

each group in the periodic table has there own name, for example the metals is one group. overall there are 5 groups on the table.

Answer 6

It groups elements by repeat free elèctròns which often show in valent or oxidation state. Each row is a new shell. Each block is a new subshell. Each entry is a new orbital.

Answer 7

number of electrons in the elements of this certain group (column)

Answer 8

Groups are vertical columns which represents number of valence electrons. Periods are horizontal rows that represents number of shells of an element.
