Explanation:

• 1. horizontal row in the periodic table: A period is a horizontal row in the periodic table.
• 2. vertical column in the periodic table: A group is a vertical column in the periodic table.
• 3. A repetition of properties occurs when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number: This is the periodic law.
• 4. type of element that is a good conductor of heat and electric current: Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
• 5. type of element characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbital: Transition metals have electrons in the d orbital.
• 6. one - half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms when the atoms are joined: This is the atomic radius.
• 7. basis for Mendeleev’s arrangement of the periodic table: Mendeleev arranged the periodic table based on atomic mass.
• 8. subatomic particles that are transferred to form positive and negative ions: Electrons are transferred to form ions.
• 9. ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound: This is electronegativity.
• 10. energy required to remove an electron from an atom: This is ionization energy.
