Which column of elements in the periodic table have similar but not identical properties?

The "vertical" column of the periodic table is called the "group" (from group I, with Hydrogen at the top, then Lithium, Sodium, Potasium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium at the bottom of that group; To group VIII with Helium at the top, working down to ununoctium at the bottom). The horizontal column is called a "period". e.g, period 1, has the element Hydrogen to Helium from left to right of the periodic table, Whereas period 7, has the elements Francium, Radium, Actinium, Rutherfordium, dubnium, Seaborgium, Bohrium, Hassium, Meitnerium, Darmstadtium, Roentgenium, Ununbium, Ununtrium, Ununquadium, Ununpentium, Ununhexium, Ununseptium and Ununoctium, from left to right of the periodic table!

How do you locate a period and a group on the periodic table of elements?

To find the period of an element on the periodic table, you look at the end of the row and see what number is there. For example, if your were trying to find the period of Oxygen, you would look all the way to the right or left side of the table and see what number there is, and you would find that oxygen is in period 2.


What is the first letter of the periodic table?

Hydrogen is the first atom on the periodic table.It has atomic number 1.It is represented by symbol H.


Which element has the greatest metallic character?

Metallic character increases as one transitions down and right through the periodic table. By definition, francium (Fr) would be the most metallic, but only extremely small amounts of it exist at any given time, thereby rendering caesium (Cs) as the most metallic element.
