Me! what are some patterns or trends that are present in the table of elements?

Some patterns and trend that are present in the periodic table would be

1. electronegativity (from left-to-right it increases across the table)

2. ionization (from left-to right it increases and from bottom-to-top it increases)

3. electron affinity (same as ionization energy)

4. atom radius (increases opposite way; from right-to-left it increases and from top-to-bottom it increases)

5. melting point (higher melting points with metals and lower melting point with non-metals)

6. metallic character (same as atom radius)

the answer is minerals.
