The period is equal to the number of shells present in an atom.

The group number is equal to the number of valence electrons.

<h3>What is the period in the periodic table?</h3>

A period in the periodic table is a row of chemical elements.

The horizontal rows (which Mendeleev called series) are called periods and the vertical columns, are groups.

Elements having similar outer electronic configurations in their atoms are arranged in vertical columns.

The period indicates the value of n for the outermost or valence shell. The period is equal to the number of shells present in an atom. To find a period, the no. of shells =no. of periods.

Example: Na- 2,8,1 - Three shells are there, so period no. is 3.

Calcium - 2,8,8,2 - Four shells are there, so period no. is 4.

To determine the group, we need to understand some rules:

1. If the element is in s block, then the group number is equal to the number of valence electrons.

Example: Mg(12) - 2,8,2

Group = no. of valence electrons = 2

2. If the element is in the p block, then the number of the group can be determined by the formula: (number of valence electrons + 10).for groups.

Example: S(16) - 2,8,6

Group = no. of valence electrons+ 10 = 6+ 10 = 16

3. If the element is in the d block, then the number of the group can be determined by the formula: number of electrons in(n−1)d subshell + (number of electrons in (n)s subshell).

Example: Fe(26):

[Ar]3d^64s^2

Group = number of electrons in(n−1)d subshell + (number of electrons in (n)s subshell) = 6+2 = 8

4. If the element is in the f block, then the number of the group is always 3.  Example: Cerium (58) belongs to the 3rd group.

The individual components of a solution_____.
Misha Larkins [42]
Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C
