Classes
These are 3 bunches of groups on the periodic table, that are grouped together based on similar properties:
What is a class on the periodic table of elements?
The term for each new row on the periodic table is called this:
What is a period?
Columns in the periodic table of elements are called these:
What are groups in the periodic table?
This is the term used to describe elements that share similar characteristics and atomic structure:
What are families on the periodic table?
According to Libretexts.org, specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects to a certain element are known as these:
What are periodic trends?
This is the smallest class on the periodic table, consisting of only 7 elements:
What are metalloids?
Each element on the periodic table is arranged into periods based on this:
What is an electron energy level?
Although the elements in each group have similar properties, the arrangements of the elements into groups in the periodic table is mainly based on this:
What is the number of valence electrons?
This family has the largest amount of elements on the periodic table:
What are the transition metals?
This trend is an atoms tendency to attract electrons, the trend increases from left to right and from top to bottom on the periodic table:
Elements in this class share the ability to conduct electricity, relatively high melting points as well as being shiny, ductile and malleable:
What are metals?
This period on the periodic table contains only 2 elements, Hydrogen and Helium, as these are the only 2 elements with a single electron shell:
What is period 1 on the periodic table of elements?
The element cobalt, having 9 valence electrons, belongs to this periodic group:
Having 1 valence electron, the elements in this periodic family are the most reactive out of all the families in the periodic table:
What are the alkali metals?
This periodic trend is 1/2 the distance between the nuclei of 2 atoms, it decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom:
This element is the only non-metal element that is liquid at room temperature:
What is bromine?
This period on the periodic table contains 32 elements, most of which belong to either the lanthanide or transition metals family:
What is period 6 on the periodic table?
All elements in this periodic group are colorless, odorless gases:
What is group 18?
All of the elements in this family are gases at room temperature:
What are the noble gases?
Belonging to the non-metal class, this element has the highest melting point of all the elements on the periodic table:
What is carbon?
This metalloid element is often used as a semi-insulator in computer microelectronics industries:
What is silicon?
The discovery of this element, in addition to Nihonium, Moscovium, and Tennessine, completed period 7 of the periodic table.
What is Oganesson?
Having 8 valence electrons, the element krypton belongs to this periodic group:
What is group 18?
Belonging to the halogen family, this is the most electronegative element on the periodic table:
What is fluorine?
Since metallic character decreases from left to right, and and increases from top to bottom, this man-made element is known to have the highest metallic character of all the elements on the periodic table:
What is francium?
