1. Elements are arranged in the increasing order of Elements are arranged in the increasing order of their
their atomic masses. atomic numbers.
2. There are a total of 7 groups (columns) and 6 There are a total of 18 groups (columns) and 7 periods
periods (rows). (rows).
3. Elements having similar properties were placed Elements having the same valence shell are placed in one
directly under one another. period while those having same number of valence
electrons are placed in one group.
4. The position of Hydrogen could not be explained. Hydrogen is placed over alkali metals.
5. No distinguishing position for metals and non- Metals are placed at left-hand side of the periodic table
metals. while non-metals are placed at right-hand side.
1. State the Modern Periodic Law.
2. Name the scientist who stated the law.
3. How many groups and periods does modern periodic table have?
1. Find out the group and period of an element with atomic number 12.
2. The atomic number of an element X is 15. Identify its position in terms of group and period in
the Modern Periodic Table.
Elements of Group 1 and elements of Group 17, both have valency 1. Explain.
Give the trends in atomic size on moving:
(a) Down the group
(b) Across the period from left to right
In a group, the size of an atom increases as one proceeds from top to bottom.
This is due to the successive addition of shells (which overweighs the increased
nuclear charge) as one moves from one period to the next in a group.
Across a period, the size of an atom decreases from left to right. This is
because of the successive increase in the atomic number due to which effective
nuclear charge increases and thereby bringing the outermost shell closer to the
nucleus.
Arrange Be, Li, C, B, N, O and F in the order of increasing metallic character.
On moving across a period, nuclear pull increases due to the increase in atomic number and
thus, the atomic size decreases. Hence, elements cannot lose electrons easily.
Therefore, the metallic nature decreases across a period, on moving from left to right.
A metal M forms an oxide having the formula M2O3. It belongs to third period. Write the atomic
number and valency of the metal.
Name the element which has:
1. Two shells, both of which are completely filled with electrons.
2. The electronic configuration 2,8,3.
3. A total of three shells with five electrons in its valence shell.
4. A total of four shells with two electrons in its valence shell.
5. Twice as many electrons in its second shell as in its first shell.
Complete the following sentences with the correct word.
1. The properties of the elements are a periodic function of their ___________.
(atomic number, mass number)
2. The elements at the bottom of a group would be expected to show _______

metallic character than the element at the top. (less, more)
3. The similarities in the properties of a group of elements are because they have
the same _____________. (electronic configuration, number of outer electrons,
atomic numbers)
The electronic configuration of an element T is 2,8,8,1.
a. What is the group number of T?

b. What is the period number of T?
c. How many valence electrons are there in an atom of T?
d. Is it a metal or a non-metal?
e. What is the valency of T?
Elements A, B, C and D have respective atomic numbers 1, 8, 11 and 19. Choose the odd element
and give reason for the same.
Lithium atom is smaller than sodium atom. Give reason.
Mention the Group number, period number and electronic configuration for:
1. Mg (Atomic number = 12)
2. C (Atomic number = 6)
3. F (Atomic number = 9)
The elements of 2nd period are given below:
B (Z=5), Be (Z=4), O (Z=8), N (Z=7), Li (Z=3), C (Z=6), F (Z=9)
1. Arrange them in the same order as they are in the periodic table.
2. Which element has the largest and the smallest atom?
List any two properties of the elements belonging to the first group of the Modern Periodic
Table.
How is the possible valency of an element determined from the electronic configuration of its
atom?
