A period is horizontal; the elements gain 1 proton for each space moving left to right.
A group is vertical; the elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the valence shell(outer orbital).

In the periodic table, the vertical columns are called the “groups” or sometimes referred as “families.” They are called this because they have similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the period table are called periods because they all have same exact number of electron shells.

A hydrate of CuSO4 has a mass of 12.98 g before heating. After heating, the mass of the anhydrous compound is found to be 9.70
MatroZZZ [7]
After the water is boiled off, the mass is 9.7 grams, so find the weight of the water.

12.98 - 9.7 = 3.28g H2O

Find how many moles of CuSO4 and H2O you have.

If there are about 18g per mole of H2O

3.28/18 = .1822 moles of H2O

If there are about 160g per mole of CuSO4

9.7/160 = .0606 moles of CuSO4

.1822/.0606 = 3

Ratio of H2O to CuSO4 = 1:3

Formula
<span>CuSO4.3H2O
</span>
Full Name
<span>Copper (II) Sulphate Trihydrate</span>
