Question 10
Question: On what basis is Potassium (z = 19) placed in 4 th period and 1 st group? Answer: The electronic configuration of potassium is 2, 8, 8, 1. It has four shells so it belongs to the 4 th period. The 4 th period has elements wit..
Significance of Valence Electrons
Valence electrons of an atom are responsible for chemical reactions as they take part in them. Elements having same number of valence electrons in their atoms possess similar chemical properties. All alkali metals have one valence electron in their atom. Thus, their chemical properties are simil..
Halogens
The elements placed in group 7 (VIIA) of the periodic table are called halogens or salt producers. All these elements form salts called halides, e.g. NaCl, NaI, KCl, KI etc. Halogen is an ancient Greek word meaning 'salt producer'. Halogens have seven electrons in their valence shell and so are mo..
Defects of Law of Octaves
This law could be best applied, only up to the element calcium. Newly discovered elements could not fit into the octave structure. The feature of resemblance of the 8 th element when arranged in increasing order of their atomic mass was not successful with heavier elements...

Newlands' Law
. The eighth element from nitrogen is phosphorus and both these elements are similar in properties. Based on this observation, Newland stated his law of octaves thus 'when elements are arranged in increasing order of their atomic mass, the eighth element resembles the first in physical and chemical..
