1. Periods are horizontal rows in the periodic table.
2. Each period represents the energy levels of the elements in that row.
3. The number of elements in each period varies, with the first period having only two elements (hydrogen and helium) and subsequent periods having more elements.
4. Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
5. Elements in the same period generally have similar chemical properties.
6. The properties of elements in a period change gradually as you move from left to right across the periodic table.
7. The period number corresponds to the number of electron shells in an element's electron configuration.
8. The elements in a period are not necessarily related in terms of their atomic mass or atomic number.

Characteristics of Periods in the Periodic Table
1. Periodicity of Properties:
- Elements in the same period have an increasing atomic number and decreasing atomic radius from left to right.
- They share similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electron shells.
2. Number of Electron Shells:
- Each period corresponds to the number of electron shells in the atoms of the elements it contains.
- Period 1: 1 electron shell
- Period 2: 2 electron shells
- And so on
3. Valence Electrons:
- Elements in the same period have the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost shell.
- Valence electrons determine the chemical reactivity and bonding properties of elements.
4. Progressive Filling of Electron Orbitals:
- As you move from left to right across a period, electrons are progressively added to the orbitals in the outermost shell.
- This follows the Aufbau principle and Hund's rule.
5. Transition Metals:
- Periods 4, 5, and 6 contain transition metals, which have partially filled d orbitals.
- Transition metals are known for their variable oxidation states and form colored compounds.
6. Metalloids:
- Metalloids are elements that lie on the border between metals and nonmetals in period 3.
- They have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
7. Halogens:
- The elements in Group 17 (column 7) of the periodic table are called halogens.
- They are highly reactive nonmetals that form monoatomic negative ions.
8. Noble Gases:
- The elements in Group 18 (column 8) of the periodic table are called noble gases.
- They are colorless, odorless, and unreactive gases with stable electron configurations.
