The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
If it is a really humid warm day, have you ever noticed that's when all electrical storms occur
<u>Answer:</u> The initial pH of the HCl solution is 3
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of
ions and 1 mole of
ions
To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:
![pH=-\log[H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%5BH%5E%2B%5D)
We are given:
![[H^+]=0.001M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH%5E%2B%5D%3D0.001M)
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the initial pH of the HCl solution is 3
