Gradation in Properties: Valency, Atomic number, Metallic and Non-metallic properties.
Answers
please specify property
are you talking about the modern periodic table
The gradation for the given properties in the modern periodic table is mentioned below:
1.Valency-
In a group, the number of valence electrons is same in case of all the elements and therefore, have the same valency.
In a period, valency increases from the left to right( ranging from 0-8) across the period.
2. Atomic number-
In a group, the atomic number decreases while going down the group.
In a period, the atomic number increases from left to right of a periodic table.
3. Metallic and non metallic properties-
Down the group, the metallic property of the elements increases while non-metallic property decreases.
Across a period, it is just the opposite i.e. the metallic property decreases from left to right and non-metallic property increases.
