Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The elements that are presently known and naturally occur elements has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Element that means a fundamental substance that can’t be chemically changed or broken into anything simpler is called elements.
The periodic table: Each element is identified through a one- or two-letter symbol and it is characterized by an
The six on the right is known as main group’s elements. The ten in the middle is known as

Contains equal number of protons and neutrons d. Contains the same number of neutrons as there are protons in As-67arrow_forwardList some characteristic properties that distinguish die metallic elements from the nonmetallic elements.arrow_forwardThomson and Rutherford helped to show that atoms consist of three types of subatomic particles, two of which are charged. What if subatomic particles had no charge? How would this affect what you have learned?arrow_forward
