Q5
Choose from the following: 6C, 80, 10Ne, 11Na, 14Si (i) Elements that should be in the same period. (ii) Elements that should be in the same group. State reason for your selection in each case.
Solution
Electronic configuration of: 6C - 2,4 8O - 2,6 10Ne - 2,8 11Na - 2,8,1 14Si - 2,8,4
(i) elements belongs to same period are-6C,8O,10Ne. Because all have same number of shell.
(ii) elements belongs to same group are - 6C, 14Si. Because both have same number of valence electrons.
