Chapter 8, Problem 8.17QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given electronic configurations of the elements have to be grouped, that represent elements with similar properties

Concept Introduction: In the periodic table the elements are grouped based on their valence electrons, so all the elements within a certain group have similar properties. Since only the valence electrons involve in bonding, reactivity of an element depends on the number of electrons present in the valence shell of the atom.

To Know the reactivity of an element (a) with   ‘1s22s22p63s2’ electron configuration

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 8.17QP

Pair 1: (a) 1s22s22p63s2 and (d) 1s22s2

Explanation of Solution

Since only the valence electrons involve in bonding, electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom, response for the chemical properties of an element. The given electron configuration (a) ‘1s22s22p63s2’of an element has 2 valence electrons, so the element present in group 2A.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given electronic configurations of the elements have to be grouped, that represent elements with similar properties

Answer to Problem 8.17QP

Pair 3: (b) 1s22s22p3 and (f)1s22s22p63s23p3

Explanation of Solution

Since only the valence electrons involve in bonding, electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom, response for the chemical properties of an element. The given electron configuration (b) ‘1s22s22p3’of an element has 5 valence electrons, so the element present in group 5A.

(c)

Answer to Problem 8.17QP

Pair 2: (c) 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6 and (e) 1s22s22p6

Explanation of Solution

Since only the valence electrons involve in bonding, electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom, response for the chemical properties of an element. The given electron configuration (c) ‘1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6’of an element has 8 valence electrons and also it has the complete octet configuration. Octet rule refers the tendency of atoms to prefer eight electrons in the valence shell to form a stable configuration that leads to present the element in group 8A.
