The document lists various properties and characteristics of elements and compounds that either increase or decrease in the order listed. Some of the key trends include:
1. The melting point of alkali metals decreases from lithium to cesium.
2. The stability of oxidation states and hydrides decreases down the groups in the periodic table.
3. The acidic strength of compounds increases as you move down and to the right in the periodic table.
4. Halogens increase in bond length, reducing character, and acid strength but decrease in oxidizing power from fluorine to iodine.
