Answer» 1. Periods are long [5, 6, 7] horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table and an element with three electron shells and two electrons in its valence shell belongs to period 3 [6, 3, 1] and group 2 [3, 6, 2]. 2. Across a period the valence electrons increase by 1 while down a subgroup they remain same. 3. Across a period, the electropositive character decreases and down a group the electronegative character decreases. 4. Elements at the extreme left of the modem periodic table are most reactive, while elements on the extreme right [group 18 (0)] are un reactive. 5. Elements of group 1 [IA] are strong reducing [oxidising / reducing] agents since they are electron donors [acceptors/ donors]. |
