Reactivity trends of halogen:
1) Melting point and boiling points increased down the
group
2) Colour becomes darker.
E.g. Fluorine (pale yellow)
Chlorine (yellowish-green)
Bromine (reddish-brown)
Iodine (purplish-black)
Astatine (black)
3) The reactivity decreases down the group.
Reactivity:
F > Cl > Br > I > At

Answer:
An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
Explanation:
The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.
This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.
Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.
Answer:
Elements in the same period have the same (number of electron shells)
