Answer:

  • in modern periodic table 7 horizontal rows called periods
  • each period starts with alkali metals and ends with inert gases
  • periods are having elements like this
  • 1_2(shortestperiod)
  • 2_8(short)
  • 3_8(short)
  • 4_18(long)
  • 5_18(long)
  • 6_32(longest)
  • 7-31(incomplete)
  • 6 period contains lanthanoids
  • 7 period contains actinoids
  • only gaseous elements in 1 period
  • each period represents shell number

CHARACTERISTICS OF PERIODS

Valence Electrons (or Outermost Electrons)

On moving from left to right in a period, the number of valence electrons in elements increases from 1 to 8.
Valency

On moving from left to right in each short period, the valency of elements increases from 1 to 4. Then decreases to 0 (zero).
Size of Atoms (or Atomic size)

On moving from left to right in a period, the size of atoms(atomic size) decreases.
Metallic Character

On moving from left to right in a period, the metallic character of elements decreases, whereas the non-metallic character increases.
Chemical Reactivity

On moving from left to right in a period, the chemical reactivity of elements first decreases and then increases.
