(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The element sodium has to be classified as noble gas representative element or transition metals and also has to be indicated as metal or non-metal or metalloid.

Concept Introduction:

Metals:

Metals are the elements which are shiny materials and good conductors of heat and electricity.  All metals are solids at room temperature except for mercury, which is a liquid.

Non-metals:

Nonmetals are the elements which do not have a shiny appearance and non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Metalloids:

Metalloids are the elements which have properties intermediate between metals and non-metals.  Only seven elements are categorized as metalloids.

Representative elements:

  • Representative elements are the chemical elements in the group-1, group-2 and in the groups from 13 to 18.  Representative elements are also known as group-A elements or s-block elements and p-block elements or main group elements.
  • s-block elements have their valence electrons in the outermost s-orbitals and are in two types as alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.  Alkali metals are group-1 whereas alkali earth metals are group-2 elements.
  • p-block elements have their valence electrons in the outermost p-orbitals.  Almost all the p-block elements are non-metals including some metalloids.

Transition elements:

  • Transition elements are chemical elements that have unpaired d electrons at least in a stable cation.
  • Transition elements include d block and f block elements.
  • Transition elements are in the groups 3 to 12.
