Chapter 6.1, Problem 2SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The simplified version of the periodic table needs to be drawn to indicate the position of metals, non-metals and metalloid.

Concept introduction:

There are 4 blocks in the periodic table namely, s-block, p-block, d-block and f-block. Here, s-block contains metals, p-block contains non-metals and metalloids, d-block contains transition metals and f-block contains inner transition elements.

Explanation of Solution

The simplified version of periodic table is as follows:

The group 1 and 2 consists of metals, group 13 to 18 consists of non-metals and metalloids. The diagram shows the metals, non-metals and metalloids using different colors.

Conclusion

In the left of periodic table, metals present and in the right, non-metals present. Metalloids are present through group 13 to 17.
