Why do we classify elements?

उत्तर

Elements are classified into certain groups in such a manner that elements belonging to the same group exhibit similar properties. This eases the study of elements, as we can reduce the study to a few groups of elements rather than studying the properties of all the 115 elements known at present, which is very difficult. This is the reason for classification of elements.

Atoms of eight elements A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H have the same number of electron shells but different number of electrons in their outermost shells. It was found that elements A and G combine to form an ionic compound. This ionic compound is added in a small amount to almost all vegetables and dishes during cooking. Oxides of elements A and B are basis in nature while those of elements E and F acidic. The oxide of element D is, however, almost neutral. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(a) To which group or period of the periodic table do these elements belong?
(b) What would be the nature of compound formed by a combination of elements B and F?
(c) Which two of these elements could definitely be metals?
(d) Which one of the eight elements is most likely to be found in gaseous state at room temperature?
(e) If the number of electrons in the outermost shell of elements C and G be 3 and 7 respectively, write formula of the compound formed by the combination of C and G.


(a) How is possible valency of an element determined from the electronic configuration of its atom ?

(b) Determine the valency of an element X whose atomic number is 15.
