Give the periodic group number and number of valence electrons for each of the following atoms.
- (a) O
- (b) B
- (c) Na
- (d) Mg
- (e) F
- (f) S
(a)
Interpretation: The periodic group number and number of valence electron for the given atom should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Periodic Table: The available chemical elements are arranged considering their atomic number, the electronic configuration and their properties. The elements placed on the left of the table are metals and non-metals are placed on right side of the table.
In periodic table the horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical column are called group.
There are seven periods and 18 groups present in the table and some of those groups are given special name as follows,
Valence electron: The electron is considered as valence electron if it present in outermost shell of atom which gets involved in the formation of chemical bond.
Answer to Problem 1PS
Oxygen (O) atom belongs to Group 6A and carrying six valence electrons.
Explanation of Solution
Oxygen (O) atom belongs to Group 6A so it must be carrying six valence electrons.
(b)
Interpretation: The periodic group number and number of valence electron for the given atom should be identified.

Generate a molecular orbital diagram but this time using a different approach that draws on your knowledge and ability to put concepts together. First use VSEPR or some other method to make sure you know the ground state structure of the molecule. Next, generate an MO diagram for BH2. Sketch the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied MOs of the BH2 fragment. These are called frontier orbitals. Now use these frontier orbitals as your basis set for producing LGO's for B2H6. Since the BH2 frontier orbitals become the LGOS, you will have to think about what is in the middle of the molecule and treat its basis as well. Do you arrive at the same qualitative MO diagram as is discussed in the book?
