What is the basic unit of the periodic table?
The atom is the fundamental unit of the periodic table, representing the smallest component of an element that retains the element's chemical properties.
Which elements have low reactivity?
Which elements have low reactivity?
Noble gases are a group of elements known for their extremely low reactivity due to their full valence electron shells, making them very stable.
Atomic size trend across a period?
Atomic size trend across a period?
Atomic size decreases across a period from left to right due to increasing nuclear charge and effective nuclear attraction, which pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus.
