Question

True or False

The highest principal enegy level of period 2 elements is 2.

Period 3 elements all have six 3p electrons.

Period 4 elements have an inner electron configuration of [Ar].

The valence electrons of group 5A elements are in the 6s subshell.

Group 8A elements have full outer principal s and p subshells.

The valence electrons of group 2A elements are in an s subshell.

The highest principal energy level of period 3 elements is 4.

Period 5 elements have an inner electron configuration of [Xe].

Explanation / Answer

The highest principal enegy level of period 2 elements is 2 ---- TRUE

Period 3 elements all have six 3p electrons ----- FALSE (Sodium has 6, Argon has 12)

Period 4 elements have an inner electron configuration of [Ar] ---- TRUE

The valence electrons of group 5A elements are in the 6s subshell --- FALSE

Group 8A elements have full outer principal s and p subshells ---- TRUE (Noble gas elements)

The valence electrons of group 2A elements are in an s subshell --- TRUE

The highest principal energy level of period 3 elements is 4 --- FALSE (n = 3)

Period 5 elements have an inner electron configuration of [Xe] ---- FALSE (They will have [Kr])
