A

Same properties as elements of group 1

Unique element

34
Q

Helium has ns^2 configuration like group 2 but is part of

A

Group 18

35
Q

Because its highest occupied energy level is filled by two electrons helium possessed

A

Special chemical stability exhibiting the unreactive nature of a group 18 element

36
Q

Group 2 metals have no

A

Special stability

Highest occupied energy levels aren’t filled because each metal has an empty p sublevel

37
Q

For energy level n there are

A

N possible sublevels

38

The d block elements are metals with

A

Typical metallic properties and are often referred to as transition elements

43
Q

D block elements are

A

Good conductors of electricity and have a high luster

Typically Less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline earth metals

44
Q

Some d block elements are so unreactive that they do not

A

Easily form compounds, existing in nature as free elements

45
Q

Atoms of all p block elements contain

A

2 electrons in the ns sublevel

46
Q

The p block elements together with the s block elements are called the

A

Main group elements

47
Q

For group 13 elements added electron enters the

A

Np sublevel giving group configuration of ns^2np^1

48
Q

Atoms of group 14 elements contain 2 electrons in p sublevel giving

A

ns^2np^2 for group configuration

49
Q

Group configuration for 13-18

53
Q

At the left hand side and bottom of the p block there are

A

Eight p block metals

54
Q

The elements of group 17

A

(Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine)

Are known as halogens

55
Q

Halogens are the most reactive

A

Nonmetals

62
Q

Metals of the o block are generally

A

Harder and denser than the s block alkaline earth metals but softer and less dense than the d block metals

63
Q

With exception of bismuth the metals of p block are sufficiently

A

Reactive to be found in nature only in form of compounds

64
Q

The position of f block elements reflects the fact that

A

They involve the filling of the 4f sublevel

65
Q

Lanthanides are shiny

A

Metals similar in reactivity to alkaline earth metals

66
