Astudent hypothesizes that since elements in the same row have the same number of energy levels, they should behave the same in chemical reactions. explain why you agree or disagree with this hypothesis.

i'm having a bit of trouble with this question : p
anyone know?

Explanation:

When we move across a period then there occurs an increase in the number of electrons of atoms from left to right. These electrons are added to the same sub-shell.

For example, elements present in row 2 will have electrons present in n = 2 which is the highest energy level for row 2 elements.

Hence, there are different number of valence electrons present in the elements of a row.

Whereas when we move down a group then elements have same number of valence electrons. As a result, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

But since, there are no same number of valence electrons in the elements of a row. Hence, they do not show similar chemical properties. Therefore, elements of a row do not behave same in chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that we disagree with the hypothesis given by the student.
