Question

All of the statements are true about the arrangement of elements in the periodic table EXCEPT that the

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Elements are divided into  7 Periods and 18 Groups in a periodic table.

Metals are present on the left side of the periodic table. They are present from Group 1 to Group 14 of the periodic table.

Non-metals are present on right side of the periodic table. They are present from group 15 to group 17 of the periodic table.

Inert gases are present in the farthermost right side of the periodic table. They are present in group 18.

Transition metals are present in the center of the periodic table from group 3 to group 12.

Rare earth metals are present in group 3 from the left. All the elements present in lanthanides series are considered as rare Earth metals.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Answer 2

Answer: C) rare earth elements are in the first column, on the left.

Explanation:

In fact, rare earth elements are in the third column, on the left.

The periodic table of the elements is an arrangement of the chemical elements in the form of a table, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), by their configuration of electrons and their chemical properties. It was progressively developed over time as the scientific knowledge advanced; for this reason many modifications and corrections might be done in the future.

This table is divided into rows and columns, which represent the periods and groups or families. For its location the atomic number and valence of each element was considered.

In this sense, the elements in the periodic table are mainly arranged as follows:

-Alkali metals and Alkaline Earth metals in the first two columns, on the left.

-Rare earth elements in the third column (rows 6 and 7), on the left.

-Transition metals in the center.

-Basic metals and semi-metals to the right

-Non-metals to the right (and Hidrogen in the first row and column)

-Noble gases (or inert gases) farthest to the right.
