Date of discovery
Physical state only
2. Elements in the same column (group) of the periodic table typically have similar:
Atomic mass
Number of protons
Chemical properties
Physical state at room temperature
1. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called .
2. Elements in Group 18 are known as the gases.
3. The atomic number represents the number of in an atom's nucleus.
