trends of modern periodic table
Answers
Trends in the Modern Periodic Table are:-
⏩ Valency.
⏩ Atomic Size.
⏩ Metallic and Non-Metallic properties.
The valency of an element determined by the number of valence electrons present in the outermost shell of its atom.
⏺ Valency down a group same.
⏺ Valency across a period (left to right) varies ie. first increases then decreases.
The atomic size is the distance between the center of the nucleus and the outermost shell of an isolated atom.
⏺Across a period, Left to right atomic size decrease and Right to left increases.
⏺Atomic size increase down a group.
In the modern periodic table, a zig-zag line separates metals from non-metals.
⏺ Metal tend to lose electrons while forming bonds. So they are electropositive in nature.
⏺️ Non-metal tend to form bonds by gaining electrons. So they are electronegative in nature.
