Metal: Metal…

How reactive are you?

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in such a way that their properties vary periodically
with respect to their atomic number.
Periodic trends are systematic variations of many properties of the elements change in
predictable way as you move through the periodic table.

There are various periodic trends like metallic and

nonmetallic property. Metallic property increases from
top to bottom and decreases from left to right.

On the other hand, nonmetallic property decreases from

top to bottom and increases from left to right.

Electronegativity is the ability to attract electrons in a

chemical bond while ionization energy is the energy
needed to remove one of the elements’ electrons. The
former decrease from top to bottom and increases from
left to right which also holds true for the latter.

Energy level or electron shell is a region space of some general distance from the nucleus,
where a group of electrons is most likely to be found.
Electronic configuration is the electronic structure of an atom that describes the
arrangement of electrons in its orbital.
The highest energy level that an electron occupies is referred to as the outermost shell or
valence shell and the electrons that are placed on it are called as valence electrons.
