Which of the following statements is not a correct statement about the trends when going from left to right across the periods of Periodic Table.
(a) The elements become less metallic in nature.
(b) The number of valence electrons increases. (c) The atoms lose their electrons more easily.
(d) The oxides become more acidic

The atoms lose their electrons more readily, hence the right response is c. The claim that atoms lose electrons more readily is untrue since the non-metallic character rises as we move from left to right across the periods of the periodic table. As a result, there is less of a tendency to lose an electron.

(a) Lithium, sodium, and potassium are all metals that react with water to liberate hydrogen gas. Is there any similarity in the atoms of these elements? (b) Helium is an unreactive gas and neon is a gas of extremely low reactivity. What, if anything, do their atoms have in common?

(a) Since they only have one valence electron in their outermost shells, they are very unstable. Due to their easy reaction with water, hydrogen is released. They are also called alkali metals. In order to release hydrogen, they rapidly react with water.(b)They are quite stable since their outermost shells are full. They only react under …

Name (a) Three elements that have a single electron in their outermost shells.(b) Two elements that have two electrons in their outermost shells.(c) Three elements with filled outermost shells

(a) Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na) and potassium (k) have one electron in their outermost shells.(b) Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca) have two electrons in their outermost shells.(c) Neon (Ne), Argon ( Ar ) and Xenon ( Xe ) have 8 electrons means filled the outermost shells.

How could the Modern Periodic Table remove various anomalies of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table?

(a) The elements are arranged in the Modern Periodic Table according to increasing atomic number. This eliminates the oddity relating to specific elemental pair pairs in Mendeleev\’s periodic table. (b) Nickel has an atomic number of 28 and cobalt has an atomic number of 27. Therefore, despite having a larger atomic mass than nickel, cobalt …
