Overview

Periodic properties are the properties of elements that repeat at regular intervals in the periodic table. The modern periodic table arranges elements in increasing order of atomic numbers, and elements with similar properties appear again and again after regular intervals. This regular repetition i

Key Concepts

The physical and chemical properties

The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic weight.

The physical and chemical properties

The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. The modern periodic table is based on this law.

The periodic repetition of elements having

The periodic repetition of elements having similar properties after regular intervals is called periodicity.

Noble gases belong to group 18

Noble gases belong to group 18. Representative elements include groups 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. s-block elements are groups 1 and 2, p-block

Atomic size or atomic radius

Atomic size or atomic radius is the distance from the centre of the nucleus to the outermost shell of electrons. It is expressed in Angstrom units or
