Properties of Elements in Periods and Groups 1.Valence electrons: In a period, the number of valence electron increase from 1 to 8 from the left to the right. In a group, the number of valence electrons is the same for all the elements. 2.Valency: In a period, the valency of the element increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases from 4 to 0 from the left to the right. In a group, the valency is the same of all elements. 3.Atomic size: In a period, the atomic size of the element decreases from the left to the right. In a group, the atomic size of the element increases from top to bottom. 4.Metallic property: In a period, the metallic property of element decreases from the left to the right. In a group, the metallic property of the elements increases from the top to the bottom. 5.Non-metallic property: In a period, the non metallic property of the element increases from the left to the right. In a group, the non metallic property of the elements decreases from the top to the bottom....
