Explanation:

Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.

Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.

As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.

Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.

Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
  • Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
  • Metallic elements become less reactive as you move left to right in a period.
  • Metallic elements become more reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

Electrons are found in energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. Energy levels can also be called ""shells."" The energy leve
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

<u>The first electronic shell or energy level, having n= 1, called the K shell, is the closest to the nucleus.</u>

Explanation:

In an atom, the sub atomic particles called electrons, revolve around the nucleus of the given atom at different <em>energy levels</em>, called <em>shells</em>.

The energy levels or the electronic shells are denoted by the <em>principal quantum number</em>  <em>(n)</em> and has the following values n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; <em>from the innermost shell to the outermost.</em>

The electron shells are also labelled by the alphabets, K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q, <em>from the innermost shell to the outermost.</em>

<u><em>Thus the first electronic shell having n= 1, called K shell, is the lowest energy level and is present closest to the nucleus.</em></u>

<u><em>Whereas, the last electronic shell having n =7, called Q shell, is the highest energy level and is farthest from the nucleus.</em></u><u> </u>

The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing. true or false
qaws [65]

Answer:

Increasing atomic number - True

Explanation:

The modern table is based on Mendeleev’s table, except the modern table arranges the elements by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass.

The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this number is unique for each element. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Calcium has an atomic number of 20.

In the modern periodic table the elements are further arranged into:

- rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number. Elements in the same periods have the same number of shells.

- vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties. Elements in the same group has the same number of valency (outermost number of electrons)
