Physical properties of elements vary according to atomic number. Sections 6 to 9 of the data booklet list some of these properties.

(b(i))

Describe the density trend across periods 4 and 5 of the periodic table.

Markscheme

density increases «to a maximum in the transition elements» AND then decreases  [✔]

Examiners report

Most students realised that density peaks around the middle of each of these periods, though a significant minority seemed unaware of the significance of “periods” and just reported the overall general increase in density.
