Answer» <P> Prediction of PERIOD ⟶ In the electronic configuration of an atom, the principal quantum number (n) of the valence electrons represents the period of an element. Prediction of Block ⟶ The orbital out of s,p,d and f which receives the last electron represents the block of an element Prediction of Group ⟶ The group prediction occurs with the HELP of block as:- (1) For s block: Group Number = Number of valence e− (2) For d block: Group Number = Number of e− in (n−1)d subshell + number of e− in ns subshell (3) For p block: Group Number = Number of valence e−+10 (4) For f-block: Group Number = 3 (always) For EXAMPLE for chlorine with Z=17 Electronic configuration = 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵ Since the last e− enters in p - subshell: (i) ∴ Block will be ′p′ (ii) For group we have element in p-block ∴ Group number = 10+ Valence e− in s subshell + Valence e− in p subshell Group Number = 10+2+5=17 (iii) For period The quantum number of valence e−=3 ∴ Period number = 3 |
