As you move across the period on the periodic table what pattern can be described about the electron configurations?

Elements in the same period have same number of electronic shell and electron is increased by one in every coming element with in same electronic shell.

Explanation:

Consider the second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

Electronic configuration of lithium:

Li₃ = [He] 2s¹

Electronic configuration of beryllium:

Be₄ = [He] 2s²

Electronic configuration of boron:

B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹

Electronic configuration of carbon:

C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²

Electronic configuration of nitrogen:

N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵

Electronic configuration of neon:

Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell and number of electron increased by 1.

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates
