Why does the number of elements in successive periods on the periodic table increase by the progression 2 8 18 32?
As we go down the Periodic Table the number of electron shells goes on increasing by 1 and the periods are numbered according to the number of shells present in the atom of elements in that period. The maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by the formula, e=2n2 (where, e-maximum no. of electrons; n-the nth shell counted from the nucleus). So, the 1st shell has maximum 2, the 2nd 8, 3rd 18 and so on. Every period starts with a new shell and as we go across the periods from left to right one by one electron goes on adding to the same shell. Thus the maximum no. of electrons for a shell is present in the last atom of that period and no. of elements in a period is equal to the maximum no. of electrons for that period. So, the number of elements in successive periods goes like 2, 8, 18, 32 and so on.

Which way does electron shells increase on the periodic table?
The number of shells in periodic table increase down the group, i.e., vertically.
Elements on very first Periodic Table?
Yes, there were elements on the first periodic table. I believe that there are still elements on the periodic table.
How many transition elements are there in the periodic table?
There are 38 transition elements in the periodic table.
What is pattern of repeating properties of elements revealed in the periodic table called?
The pattern of repeating properties of elements in the periodic table is called periodicity. This periodicity arises from the similar electronic structure and arrangements of elements within the table.
Why is the periodic tables called the periodic table?
It is arranged such that similar elements with similar preferred bonding arrangements are aligned vertically. This exposes the various s, p, d, and f bonding orbitals for each successive "exterior" shell, and so appears to repeat... hence "periodic".
Where the elements in period 3 of the periodic table are considered from left to right the degree of nonmetalic character of each successive element tends to do what?
The nonmetallic character begin with silicon and increase to right.
The elements of the Periodic Table are arranged in horizontal rows according to each successive element's greater?
number of protons
The elements of the periodic table are arranged in horizontal rows according to each successive element 's greatest?
Atomic number
Arranged the elements in the periodic table according to increase in atomic weights?
Mendeleev.
Is periodicity defined as the fact that elements increase in atomic mass in a regular way?
No, the periodicity of the Periodic Table of Elements refers to the fact that the chemical properties of elements vary in a periodic way, from metals on the left hand side of the table to non-metals and then to noble gases in the far right hand column. Each row goes through the same variations. There is nothing periodic about the increase in mass; that would be described as a linear progression rather than a periodic phenomenon.
Does calcium react the same way as magnesium in many chemical reactions?
Yes: Calcium and magnesium are successive elements in the same wide form periodic table column.
What trend in atomic radius do you see as you go down a group on the periodic?
The atomic radius of elements increases as you go down a group. This increase in radius as you go down a period is primarily caused by the increasing principal quantum number of the outer electron shells.
When you move from left to right on the periodic table what are some of the major changes?
When you move from left to right on the periodic table, the atomic number of the elements increase.
Do elements on the periodic table increase in electronegitivity as you go left to right or up and down?
Electronegativity increases as we move from left to right on the periodic table.
Why do elements increase in size as you move down the periodic table?
Down the group, atomic radius increases. This is due to increase in number of shells.
What is a chart that lists all the known elements?
It is called the Periodic Table of Elements.
Which way does electron shells increase on the periodic table?
The number of shells in periodic table increase down the group, i.e., vertically.
