Answer:
Below are the statements which are true about the structure of the periodic table:
B: The inner transition elements are placed at the bottom of the periodic table for easy viewing.
D: The distribution of electrons in energy levels is responsible for the shape of the periodic table.
Explanation:
Point A:
As we know that in a periodic table there are 7 period s and 18 groups. So, the number of periods is evidently lesser than the number of groups. But the shape of periodic table is regular and rectangular so point A is false.
Point B:
The inner transition elements or -f block elements are put at the bottom for easy viewing. These are the elements that have the valence electrons only in the f-orbital's. Therefore, they are placed separately at the bottom side of the table so that they can be easily viewed or studied from there. So, point B is true.
Point C:
If we talk about option C, then it is very clear and true that considering a rectangular shape of the periodic table, the groups are vertically arranged and periods are horizontally arranged, therefore it is false.
Point D:
Atoms of all elements have definite electronic distribution in different energy levels like s, p d or f. This is a very prominent feature of periodic tale that elements are divided in specific blocks, s, p, d and f based on their electronic configurations. Therefore, it is true.
Point E:
We also know that no. of metals in a periodic table are more than the no. of non metals like almost 91 out of 118 elements are metals in periodic table. Therefore, the point E "Nonmetals take up more than half the area of the periodic table." is false.
Hope it helps!
Periodic Trend:
The Atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period
Group Trend:
The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. As atomic number increases down a group, there is a increase in the positive nuclear charge, however the co-occurring increase in the number of orbitals wins out, increasing the atomic radius down a group in the periodic table
Answer :
The Atom with the greatest atomic radius is chlorine. Fluorine can be ruled out because it is in the same period as oxygen and further to the right down the period. Chlorine has the largest atomic size because it is farthest down the group of any of the above elements listed.
D. Wind will always move from areas of high pressure to low pressure. It's the reason we have weather, or one of them. Temperature is another factor.
B. That is the definition of the greenhouse effect.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
ion: an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
