Because thay play a lecaling le in blevels do these electrons fill? ? detoni y ae chemica/ Phpotes of the aba b) What su s and p What are the vertical columns of the periodic table called and what do they describe? They are called fa.iesorgrmp. Nule ,Pike fanalits have similar Propet.es Why do elements in a group exhibit similar chemical properties? 4. 5. 6. Identify the group of elements with the following characteristics: has 3 valence electrons. electron configuration ends in sap electron configuration ends in full s and p orbitals. highly reactive group of metals with one valence electron a. d. have irregular electron configurations.(2 groups) e. this element has unique properties that exclude it from being classified into "one" main group on the table. 7. Which main group element (A" group) has a different number of valence electrons than it's group number? 8. How many valence electrons are in each of the following elements? a. Magnesium b. Arsenic c. Selenium d. Iodine e. Tin 9, What is the highest energy level occupied by each of the following in question #8? a. b. c. d. e.

Explanation / Answer

5)

Elements in a group exhibit similar chemical properties becuase they have same valence shell electron configuration.

Example: Halogens ( same group elements) have similar chemical properties becuase the valence shell (outer most) electron configuration of halogens are the same.

Element: Outer most electron configuration

Fluorine(F): 2s22p5

Chloine (Cl): 3s23p5

Bromine (Br): 4s24p5

Iodine (I): 5s25p5

Astatine (At): 6s26p5
