(a)
Interpretation:
Between the element sodium and magnesium, the one which has its valence electrons farther from the nucleus is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their
(b)
Interpretation:
Between the element carbon and fluorine, the one which has its valence electrons farther from the nucleus is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their atomic number. This makes the study of these compounds systematic as elements with same chemical properties fall in the same group.
(c)
Interpretation:
Between the element neon and krypton, the one which has its valence electrons farther from the nucleus is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their atomic number. This makes the study of these compounds systematic as elements with same chemical properties fall in the same group.
(d)
Interpretation:
Between the element argon and bromine, the one which has its valence electrons farther from the nucleus is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The elements are organized in periodic table on the basis of their electronic configuration. They are put in different groups and periods according to their atomic number. This makes the study of these compounds systematic as elements with same chemical properties fall in the same group.
