I hope I'm not too late! On the left side, the atoms are smaller and as you go across they get bigger but this pattern works like a typewriter... when you get back to the left again they start out small and grow again and so on. on the top, the atoms are less radioactive. Guess what goes on in the bottom? Duh, very radioactive. Hope I helped!!!

The rows in The Periodic Table of Elements, as you read it, the rows are considered to be a different period. ( Period-ic Table.) Elements have something in common if they are in the same row. All the elements in a period or row have the same number of atomic orbitals. All the elements in the top row (first period) have one orbital for its electron. The second row (second period) has two electrons orbiting. The columns have special names and rules too. A column is called a group. The elements in a group have the very same number of electrons in their outer orbital. Every element in group one has one electron in its outer shell. (and so on.)

Hope it helped. I copied it from my Periodic Table Essay for school.

The above answer is also correct. I am just specifying.
