Answer:
The group number in the periodic table represents number of valence electrons of the elements in a certain group.
Explanation:
There are s, p, d, and f blocks, which you can see in periodic table
The s-block and p-block together are usually considered main-group elements, the d-block corresponds to the transition metals, and the f-block encompasses nearly all of the lanthanides (like lanthanum) and the actinides (like actinium)
There are three main principles, which may useful for you:
- The Pauli exclusion rule basically says that at most, 2 electrons are allowed to be in the same orbital.
- Hund’s rule explains that each orbital in the subshell must be occupied with one single electron first before two electrons can be in the same orbital.
- The Aufbau process describes the process of adding electron configuration to each individualized element in the periodic table.

Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
