III.Give reasons for the following: 1.’f’block element are kept separately in the periodic table . Ans: ‘f’ block elements do not fit into the elements of main table as there is more horizontal similarity rather than verticle similarity in these elements. 2.Atomic size decreases across the period. Ans:Across the period there will not be any change in the number of shells but more electrons are added to the same shell and the nucleus exerts greater inward pull on the electrons. 3.In the first period hydrogen and helium are not placed adjacent to each other. Ans:-Actually helium belongs to 1st period according to its shell (1s2)but this shell is a completed shell and belongs to 18th group along with other with other completed shell gases .Therefore helium is not placed adjacent to hydrogen. 4.In the construction of periodic table the periodic law is broken in some places. Ans: Periodic table is constructed for our convenience. But in few places few elements do not follow the modern periodic law strictly .Hence to group the elements of similar properties in same group the periodic law is broken in some places. IV.Anwer the following : 1.What are periods and groups in the periodic table ? Ans:- The horizontal rows of elements arranged in a periodic table are known as periods. The vertical arrangement of elements arranged in the periodic table are known as groups. There are seven periods and eighteen table. 2.State the modern periodic law. Ans:- The periodic table formed on the basis of electronic configuration of elements is called the modern periodic law . This is long form of the periodic table. 3.Atomic mass is not useful to construct the periodic table . Give reasons with an example. Ans:-* The properties of elements depend upon the number of electrons present in the valence shell which are related to atomic number . On other hand atomic mass can in no way determine the chemical properties. If atomic mass is used to construct periodic table ,Isotopes of some elements cannot not be arranged. 4.In which part of the periodic table do we find mostly non metals ? Ans:-From 1 to 6 periods and 13th to 18th group we find non metals . Altogether there are 22 non metals (11 gases 10 solid and 1 liquid). 5.What are transitional elements? Ans:- Element where electrons of their atoms occupy ultimate shells leaving penultimate shells partially vacant are called transitional elements. 6. What are metalloids? Give an example. Ans:-Element which are not distinctively metals and posses some physical properties of non metals are called metalloids .Eg:Germanium.
