The temperature at which the reaction is occurring is increased

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

The correct answer is periods. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The horizontal lines in the periodic table are called periods (ranging from 1 to 7) and vertical lines (ranging from 1 to 18).

The period that an element belongs to coincides with the last electronic layer of the element (that compound in period 3 will have 2 electronic layers).
