What is similar for elements located next to one another on the periodic table?

Elements located next to one another on the periodic table tend to have similar chemical properties because they share the same number of valence electrons. This leads to similar reactivity and bonding behavior. They may also have comparable atomic sizes and electronegativities.


How are the elements arrange in the periodic table?

Elements are arranged on the Periodic Table in the order of the atomic number, in groups and periods.


What pair of elements do you expect to be most similar?

I expect elements with similar properties in the periodic table to be most similar. For example, elements in the same group or period tend to have similar chemical characteristics due to their similar electron configurations.


What is a period in periodic table?

In the periodic table, a period would be a horizontal row, so named because it was noticed that as the atomic number increased, the elements would periodically evidence similar chemical properties and could thus could be grouped in a way that manifest these similarities. This quality is explained by how electrons fill their orbitals as you progress across the period; elements in the columns having some chemical similarites to others in their column.


An element in a similar period to fluorine would be?

Chlorine is an element in the same period as fluorine. Both elements are located in period 2 of the periodic table. They exhibit similar chemical properties due to being in the same period.

Why does the change for the atomic radii of the elements for period 3 from sodium to argon look similar to period 2?

Because the trend is the same. Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period.


What is the change in atomic radii for the elements in period 2?

Seventeen


Does a period contain elements that are similar?

no. A period is a row of elements in the periodic table whose properties change gradually and predictably.


What is a period on the periodic table and how does it help organize the elements?

A period on the periodic table is a horizontal row of elements that share similar properties. It helps organize the elements by arranging them in order of increasing atomic number and grouping elements with similar chemical properties together.


What characteristics must two elements share if they are in the same period?

Elements in the same period share the same number of electron shells. This means they have similar atomic sizes and properties because they have the same number of electron shells determining their size and behavior.


What characteristics is shared by elements in the same period?

Elements in the same period share the same number of electron shells, or energy levels. This means they have similar atomic sizes and exhibit similar chemical properties due to their outermost electron configuration.


How do elements in a period behave?

Elements in a period share the same number of electron shells, leading to similar chemical behaviors. As you move across a period from left to right, the atomic number and number of protons increase, leading to a gradual increase in electronegativity, ionization energy, and atomic size. Elements at the beginning of a period tend to be metals, while those at the end are nonmetals.


What do elements in same atomic period have?

Elements in the same atomic period have the same number of electron shells. This means that they have similar properties related to the number of energy levels in their electron configurations. However, their chemical properties can vary due to differences in the number of electrons in their outermost shell.


Are elements in a period arranged alphabetically?

NO!!! Elements in a Period are arranged by Atomic No. / Proton No. If we take PERIOD 1. . the two elements are Hydrogen and Helium, in that order. H**ydrogen , Hel**ium are NOT in alphabetical order.


Does A Period Table Contain Elements That Have Similar Properties?

The Periodic table is a representation of all elements grouped in a manner that lists elements with similar properties in columns. Adjacent columns have deceasing or increasing characteristics


If an element with the atomic number of 119 was discovered which elements would share the same caracteristics?

If an element with atomic number 119 was discovered, it would likely belong to the same group as other elements in Group 19 of the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar characteristics due to their similar electron configurations. Additionally, it may have similar properties to other superheavy elements in the same period, due to its high atomic number.


The properties of elements in a in the periodic table are often similar?

Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. This influences their chemical behavior and reactivity. Elements in the same period have similar atomic size but vary in other properties due to the changing number of electron shells.
