The elements in a period of Periodic Table have only one common factor that is same no of shells but the no of valence electrons are different for each and every atom so they have different chemical and physical properties.

Because they have different amounts of outer electrons and electron configurations. The electron configurations define the structure and bonding of the elements which defines the properties. However, elements in the same groups have the same amount of outer electrons and therefore the same structure and bonding ( except metals and non- metals which have different types of bonding) and therefore have similar properties.

all of the elements are in the same table but the properties are to do with the reactivitie sieries eg potassiom and magnesium are VERY reactive; but silver, gold and platinum arent reactive, that is why it is so expensive and is used for wedding rings - zak chivers aged 12

Define periodicity as it relates to the organization of elements on the periodic table?

The relationship is that the elements are organized by periods. Each row is a period and it goes from left to right. Each row is a period identified by different colors. Elements on the same row have something in common. All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example all the elements on the 1st row have only one orbital for its electrons. All the elements on the 2nd period (row) have two orbitals for its electrons. This repeats to period (row) 7. - Brian Tui


Why do the properties of elements of change in a regular way across a period?

Because certain groups have different characteristics, so when you move to a different group the characteristics will be different.


Are any of the elements in the same family also in the same period?
