4. (a) What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as boron have in common?

(b) What property do all elements in the same column of the Periodic Table as Fluorine have common?

Ans. (a) All the elements in the in the same column as boron have three electrons in the valence shell. That is all the elements are trivalent.

(b) All the elements in the same column as fluorine has one electron in the valance shell, which is all the elements, are monovalent.

7. Nitrogen (atomic number 7) and phosphorus (atomic number 15) belong to group 15 of the Periodic Table. Write the electronic configuration of these two elements. Which of these will be more electronegative? Why?

Ans. Nitrogen atomic number 7 has got 7 electrons with electronic configuration 2, 5.

Phosphorus with atomic number 15 has got 15 electrons with electronic configuration 2, 8, 5.

Non-metallic character decreases as we move down the group. Therefore, nitrogen will be more electronegative than phosphorus.

8. How does the electronic configuration of an atom relate to its position in the Modern Periodic Table?

Ans. Group number on an element can be predicted from the number of electrons in the outermost shell.

Period number of an element can be predicted from the number of shells with filled electrons.

Knowing the electronic configuration, we can find the number of electrons in the outermost shell and the number of shells with filled electrons. This can help to relate its position in the Periodic Table.

9. In the modern Periodic Table calcium (atomic number 20) is surrounded by elements with atomic number 12, 19, 21 and 38. Which of these have physical and chemical properties resembling calcium?

Ans. Elements in a group have similar properties. Elements with atomic numbers 12 and 38 lie in the same group as calcium. Therefore, they will have properties resembling calcium.
