Answer:
The elements become less reactive.
Explanation:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction and reactivity increases because of greater electron affinity.
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased. The electron affinity decreases because of shielding effect and thus atom become less reactive.
You can answer this question by only searching the element in the periodic table.
The atomic number of iodine, I, is 53. It is placed in the column 17 (this is the Group) and row 5 (this is the Period).
The conclusion is that the iodine is located in Period 5, Group 17, and is classified as a nonmetal.
B. Share Electrons.
