Answer: The elements are arranged according to the atomic numbers.

Explanation:

Elements in a periodic table are distributed in 7 Periods and 18 Groups.

The elements are distributed on the basis of increasing atomic numbers. They are arranged horizontally with increasing atomic number.

In earlier times, the periodic table was arranged according to average atomic mass which had many anomalies.

When elements are arranged according to atomic numbers, they followed a periodic pattern and thus similar elements can be categorized in the same group.

Thus, in modern periodic table, the elements are arranged according to increasing atomic numbers.

The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. Vertical columns(called groups) contain elements with similar properties. Horizontal rows called periods elements with the same number of atomic orbitals(That's why Hydrogen and Helium are separated from the rest of the table).

Hope this helps:)

How does frost form?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Frost forms when an outside surface cools past the dew point.

Example: The dew point is the point where the air gets so cold, the water vapor in the atmosphere turns into liquid. This liquid freezes. If it gets cold enough, little bits of ice, or frost, form.

What are the benefit of understanding physical properties?

klasskru [66]

Physical properties help identifying a substance and how it changes.
For example: if a substance crushes easily that means it has a low density, but if it’s hard and doesn’t crush easily, that means it has a strong high density.
And eventually the substance would not end up forming a new substance.
Look at the picture below to understand more about physical changes.

How is human activity affected by sinkholes

tamaranim1 [39]

The effects of sinkholes vary based on where and how they were formed.

When naturally formed on land, they will change the topography of the surroundings, cause nothing but minor issues, if any issue at all.

When formed on highly populated areas, though, they can cause a lot of damage to humans and properties in the region. Damage caused to the base of a building might be a very serious problem.

Toxic chemicals can also come up through sinkholes.
