Question
Justify the given statement with suitable examples— “the Properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers”.

Solution
The chemical properties and physical properties of the elements depends upon its outer electron configuration which ultimately is the periodic function of the atomic number. The elements which possess the same outer electron configuration belong to the same group or family showing similar properties.

The period number in the long form of the periodic table is equal to ______.
In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Arfbau principle, the seven periods have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f-block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table.
