Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons present in group 2A is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The periodic table is used to arrange the elements on the basis of their characteristics. In the periodic table, the row is known as period and the column is known as a group.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons present in group 4A is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The periodic table is used to arrange the elements on the basis of their characteristics. In the periodic table, the row is known as period and the column is known as a group.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons present in group 7A is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The periodic table is used to arrange the elements on the basis of their characteristics. In the periodic table, the row is known as period and the column is known as a group.
