_________ is a horizontal arrangement in which each element in a specific arrangement has the same number of electron shells.
Periods or series
A ______ is a vertical arrangement in which each element in a specific arrangement has the same number of valence electrons.
Group
________ are found in the outermost orbital of an atomic structure.
Valence electrons
These group in the periodic table is highly reactive.
Alkali and alkali earth metals
This group in the periodic table has high melting and boiling points.
Transition metals
This group in the periodic table is fairly reactive.
Icosagens
This group in the periodic table is not very reactive.
Crystallogens
In this group, reactivity varies for each element.
Pnictogens
This group is also called as the oxygen group.
Chalcogens
This group is highly reactive with metals.
Halogens
This group is the least reactive of all the elements because of their complete valence electrons.
Noble gases
