A period is a horizontal row in the periodic table. Although groups generally have more significant periodic trends, there are regions where horizontal trends are more significant than vertical group trends, such as the f-block, where the lanthanides and actinides form two substantial horizontal series of elements.
The Periodic Table: Families and Periods In the periodic table of elements, there are seven horizontal rows of elements called periods. The vertical columns of elements are called groups, or families. (See also The Periodic Table: Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids.) In each period (horizontal row), the atomic numbers increase from left to right.
