Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Which of the element that is highlighted is an alkali metal has to be determined.
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:
Which of the element that is highlighted is a noble gas has to be determined.
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:
Which of the element that is highlighted is present in Group VIIA has to be determined.
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.

- What defines an element? How many naturally occurring elements exist?arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the element in Group 4A and Period 5?arrow_forwardOne of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. How does this apply to Dalton’s atomic theory? Give examples.arrow_forward
