The nonmetallic properties and the atomic radius generally decrease when the elements in period 3 are considered ordered. The order used is from left to right.
Least reactive
Least reactive
In a group the ionization energy decrease when the atomic radius increase; in a period this relation is not generally valid.
Increasing radius and increasing shield effect.
All are natural chemical elements: silicon and antimony are metalloids, polonium is generally considered a metal.

Least reactive
The elements are all metals and are generally reactive.
The elements of the d-block are mostly considered to be metals and have a lustrous metallic appearance.
Generally, the positioning of the valence electrons determines if an ELEMENT is a metal. Having availability in the ground-state s, d, or f shells dictate a metal, as well as some availability in the p shell.In chemical compounds (such as brass), it is considered a metal if it is composed of entirely metallic elements; if it has nonmetallic elements (e.g. carbon, silicon, etc), it is generally not considered metallic.
Uranium is a member of the actinoids family. These chemical elements are:- they are considered frequently transition metals- they are radioactive elements- some are artificial elements- they have variable valence
The periodic table of elements has the structure and characteristics of the elements.
Generally elements with modest electrical conductivity are at the right of the Periodic Table of Mendeleev: groups 14-18. But they cannot be considered as insulators.
In a group the ionization energy decrease when the atomic radius increase; in a period this relation is not generally valid.
These gases generally dont react with any other elements and hence are considered 'noble'.
Increasing radius and increasing shield effect.
All are natural chemical elements: silicon and antimony are metalloids, polonium is generally considered a metal.
