The given table shows elements with the same number of electrons in its valence shell.  Elements  A B  C   m.p63.0180.0 97.0 State:(i) Whether these elements belong to same group or period.(ii) Arrange them in order of increasing metallic character.

Answer»

(i) Yes, these elements belong to the same group but are not from the same period.

(ii) We know that m.p. decreases on going down the group. Hence, from the above table, the elements can be ordered according to their period as follows:

  Elements  B  C  A
   m.p 180.0  97.0   63.0
 

The metallic character increases as one moves down the group. Hence, the order of the given elements with increasing metallic character is as follows: B
