Solution
- The elements in the third period are Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Chlorine and Argon.
Their valencies are 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 respectively. - Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg) and Aluminium (Al) are metals. Silicon (Si) is a metalloid.
Phosphorus (P), Sulphur (S) and Chlorine (Cl) are nonmetals. Argon (Ar) is an inert gas element and is not classified as a metal, nonmetal or metalloid. - Nonmetals belong to p-block.
- Two metalloid elements: Silicon and Germanium.
