Chapter 5, Problem 48E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The atomic mass of the element in Group $\text{8A}/18$ and Period $3$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in increasing order of their atomic mass. In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods and vertical columns are known as groups. There are $7$ periods and $18$ groups in the modern periodic table.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The atomic mass of the element in Group $\text{3A}/13$ and Period $4$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in increasing order of their atomic mass. In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods and vertical columns are known as groups. There are $7$ periods and $18$ groups in the modern periodic table.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The atomic mass of the element in Group $\text{4B}/4$ and Period $4$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The elements in a modern periodic table are arranged in increasing order of their atomic mass. In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods and vertical columns are known as groups. There are $7$ periods and $18$ groups in the modern periodic table.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The atomic mass of the element in Group $\text{2A}/2$ and Period $3$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:
