Answer:

Elements having same valence electrons are placed in <u>same group.</u>

Explanation:

First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:

1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers

The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .

Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.

Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)

Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.

So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.

All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell

The addition of NaOH to water would result in which of the following?

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

A decrease in [H3O+] and an increase in pH (option a)

Explanation:

Equilibrium of water is shown in this equation

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

When you add NaOH, you are modifying [OH⁻]

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

In equilibrium of water, the [OH⁻] increases

2H₂O ⇄ ↓ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻ ↑

As the [OH⁻] increases, by Le Chatellier, the equilibrium tends to decrease [H₃O⁺].

If the [OH⁻] is higher, pH is also high so the solution of water and sodium hydroxide would be totally basic.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

At three-quarters of a teaspoon of baking soda, the cookie's texture becomes fragile like that of a soda cracker, with a deeply roasted flavor that distracts from the ginger.

5. What type of clouds can be found in the mesosphere?

Masja [62]

Some material from meteors lingers in the mesosphere, causing this layer to have a relatively high concentration of iron and other metal atoms. Very strange, high altitude clouds called "noctilucent clouds" or "polar mesospheric clouds" sometime form in the mesosphere near the poles.

I really hope this helps! I wish you the best of luck!
