Periodic Classification of Elements

(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 …
