Expert Solution
Step 1

The periodic table is divided into groups (vertical columns), periods (horizontal rows), and families (groups of elements that are similar). The number of valence electrons in the members of a group is same. The number of occupied electron shells is the same for all elements in the same period.

The terms "main group elements" or "representative elements" are used to describe the elements in groups 1 and 2, as well as those numbered 13 to 18.
In earlier IUPAC group numbering schemes, groups IA, IIA, and IIIA to VIIIA are the main group elements.
