(a)
Interpretation: To identify whether the elements are metal, non-metal or metalloid from sodium to argon in the periodic table.
Concept introduction: The third period of periodic table have elements as follows; sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur, chlorine and argon.
Metals are the elements which can form positive ions by loosing electrons. Non-metals are the elements which can form negative ions by gaining electrons. Metalloids are elements which shows both properties of metals and non-metals.
(b)
Interpretation: To identify the colour and appearance of third period elements through sodium to argon.
Concept introduction: The colour of element is a physical property of elements. Elements shows colour due to excitation of electrons by absorbing energy.
(c)
Interpretation: To identify the states (solid, liquid and gas) of elements through sodium to argon.
Concept introduction: There are three types of
