What does the period (row) on the peridoic table tell you about elements in that row? 1/10/12

The period in the periodic table shows as you go down a group, the potential energy levels are increasing. As you go across a period, the valence is increasing. As you go UP reactivity increases as you go RIGHT reactivity increases.
