Periods on the periodic table refer to the rows of elements. As the elements progress to the right, the atomic numbers increase, usually in steps of 1.
Trends in atomic radius occur due to changes in the number of electron shells surrounding the nucleus as you move across a period or down a group in the periodic table. As you move across a period from left to right, the effective nuclear charge increases, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius. When moving down a group, additional electron shells are added, increasing the atomic radius due to more electron shielding of the outer electrons.
Radioactive decay happens because unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation to become more stable.
The organization of the periodic table in terms of conductors of electricity could also be said to be the organization of the periodic table in terms of metallic character, since metals are the best conductors of electricity. Metallic character decreases across a period and increases down a group.
Adding a proton to the nucleus of germanium would change it into the element arsenic. The extra proton would increase the atomic number of the element by one, resulting in a different chemical characteristic and reactivity.
When a radioactive nucleus emits a gamma ray, it releases high-energy photons without changing its atomic number or mass. This emission helps the nucleus transition to a lower energy state, leading to greater stability.
The atomic radius decreases.
Across a period the metallic character decreases
As you move from the bottom to the top of the periodic table, the atomic size decreases. This is because the number of protons in the nucleus increases, leading to a stronger pull on the electrons. Electrons are added to the same energy level while moving up the table, resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
