They are called bridge elements because the 'bridge' the first two elements with only one electron shell to the rest of the Periodic Table, which have ascending amounts of electron shells. The first two are also the most abundant elements in the universe.

Why Na Mg are bridge elements?

NA and MG are bridge elements because some of the second period elements show a diagonal relationship with the third period elements. Other examples would be LI and MG.

Period in chemistry?

A period is a horizontal row on the periodic table of the elements. There are seven periods on the periodic table. Each period corresponds to the highest energy level that contains electrons. For example, the elements in the first period have electrons in the first energy level, which is the only energy level available; the elements in the second period have their highest energy electrons in the second energy level; the elements in the third period have their highest energy electrons in the third energy level, and so on.


Why do element in the third period have lower ionization energies than elements in the second period?

With each additional period, there is an additional energy level, which means that the outermost electrons are farther away from the nucleus of the atom. This means that the attractive force of the positively charged nucleus is less, so it takes less energy to remove an electron from an atom in the third energy level than it does from an atom in the second energy level. Therefore, the elements in the third period have lower ionization energies than elements in the second period.


What are the first three periods of the periodic table called?
