Periodic Law
The periodic recurrence of elements with similar
physical and chemical properties, when the
elements are listed in order of increasing atomic
number, results directly from the periodic
recurrence of similar electronic configurations in
the outer shells of respective atoms
Arrangement of electrons
 • Valence electrons are the electrons
in the outermost electron shell of
an element. Sometimes, it is also
regarded as the basis of Modern 
Periodic Table. In a period, the
number of valence electrons
Valence elect increases as we move from left to
rons right side. However, in a group this
periodic trend is constant, that is
the number of valence electrons
remains the same.

temperature
• As you move from the top to the bottom of the periodic
table, you’ll find a rough correlation exists between the
atomic mass of elements and their boiling points. Lighter
elements such as hydrogen and helium tend to have very low
boiling points, and elements with greater atomic mass boil at
higher temperatures. The atomic mass affects the forces
between atoms, which in turn determine boiling points.
