Two questions for you guys that involve the periodic table & electron properties.

1. Explain how electron properties lend to periodic trends and how these properties contribute to chemical bonding (two or more elements interacting in electron activity)

2. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that “it is impossible to determine simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron of any other particle” yet we are able to use quantum numbers to specify properties of atomic orbitals and properties of electron in orbitals… explain these concepts

2. Heisenberg principle states that it is impossible to determine simultaneously both position and velocity with absolute certainty of an electron or otherwise.
we use quantum numbers to specify atomic orbitals and properties of electrons in orbitals based on the PROBABILITY
