(a)
Interpretation:
The period 3 element that is a noble gas has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic law states that if the elements are arranged in increasing order of
Location of an element in a periodic table can be given by the period number and the group number. The horizontal row in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Period. The vertical column in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Group.
(b)
Interpretation:
The period 3 element that is a halogen has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic law states that if the elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number, then the elements with similar chemical properties occur at regular intervals or periodic intervals. The elements are arranged in a periodic table in which the arrangement was based on the atomic number of the elements and the elements that have similar chemical properties are positioned in vertical columns.
Location of an element in a periodic table can be given by the period number and the group number. The horizontal row in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Period. The vertical column in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Group.
(c)
Interpretation:
The period 3 element that is an alkali metal has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic law states that if the elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number, then the elements with similar chemical properties occur at regular intervals or periodic intervals. The elements are arranged in a periodic table in which the arrangement was based on the atomic number of the elements and the elements that have similar chemical properties are positioned in vertical columns.

- State the main points of Dalton’s atomic theory usingyour own words. Which parts of Dalton’s theory werelater found to be erronous? Explain why.arrow_forwardHow many valence electrons are in each element of problem 28?arrow_forwardCertain elements have special affinities for other elements. This causes them to bind together in special ways to form .arrow_forward
- A fundamental idea of Daltons atomic theory is that atoms of an element can be neither created nor destroyed. We now know that this is not always true. Specifically, it is not true for uranium and lead atoms as they appear in nature. Are the numbers of these atoms increasing or decreasing? Explain.arrow_forwardComplete the following table. Atom/Ion Protons Neutrons Electrons S50120n M1225g2+ F2656e2+ S3479e C1735l C2963uarrow_forwardAn isolated atom has a net charge of ________ .arrow_forward
- Your friend tells you about an article that he read in a tabloid that reported the discovery of a new form of carbon containing eight protons in the nucleus of its atoms. He claims that scientists are eager to explore the properties of this new form of carbon. What is wrong with the tabloid's claim? a. Nothing. The claim is believable. b. The claim must be false because an atom with eight protons would be oxygen, which is already known. c. The claim must be false because all forms of carbon are already known.arrow_forwardUnder ordinary conditions, only a few pure elements occur as liquids. Give an example of a metallic and a nonmetallic element that ordinarily occur as liquids.arrow_forwardThe chemical name for limestone, a compound of calcium, carbon, and oxygen, is calcium carbonate. When heated, limestone decomposes into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. From the names of the products, tell where you might find the atoms of each element after the reaction. How does Daltons atomic theory explain this?arrow_forward
