Which of the following statements, in general, is true about the properties of elements on the periodic table? A. Elements in the same period have similar properties because they have the same number of energy levels. B. Elements get smaller as you move down the group. C. Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons. D. Elements in Group 8A are the most reactive.
