    Periods.
  • Which is a property of metalloids?
    Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
  • What are the properties of nonmetals?
    Nonmetals are dull, poor conductors, can be transparent, and are brittle.
  • What is the basic theme of organization in the periodic table?
    Elements are organized by increasing atomic number and recurring chemical properties.
  • Which of the following is a characteristic of the modern periodic table?
    Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number.
  • Which of the following elements is a transuranium element?
    Plutonium (Pu) is a transuranium element.
  • How did Mendeleev arrange the first periodic table?
    By increasing atomic mass and grouping similar elements.
  • How are the elements organized into the periodic table?
    By increasing atomic number and similar properties.
  • What are unique about metalloids?
    Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

  • How are the elements in the current periodic table arranged?
    By increasing atomic number.
  • How are the elements in the periodic table arranged?
    By increasing atomic number.
  • What does it mean that the relationship is “periodic”?
    It means that certain properties repeat at regular intervals as atomic number increases.
