Answer: The elements are arranged according to the atomic numbers.

Explanation:

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

The elements are distributed on the basis of increasing atomic numbers. They are arranged horizontally with increasing atomic number.

In earlier times, the periodic table was arranged according to average atomic mass which had many anomalies.

When elements are arranged according to atomic numbers, they followed a periodic pattern and thus similar elements can be categorized in the same group.

Thus, in modern periodic table, the elements are arranged according to increasing atomic numbers.

The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. Vertical columns(called groups) contain elements with similar properties. Horizontal rows called periods elements with the same number of atomic orbitals(That's why Hydrogen and Helium are separated from the rest of the table).

Hope this helps:)

A fixed quantity of gas fills a volume of 10.6 liters at 638 torr and 83 C. Find the volume it will occupy if the pressure is 10

sukhopar [10]

According to this formula:
(P1V1) / T1 = (P2V2) / T2

convert T from C° to Kelvin:
T1 = 83 + 273 = 356 K
T2= 96 + 273 = 369 K

convert P from torr to atm:
1 torr = 0.00131578947 atm
p1 = 0.839474 atm
P2 = 1.415789 atm
By substitution in the previous formula:
(0.839474 x 10.6 ) / (356) = ( 1.415789 x V2 ) / 369
So:
V2 = 6.5 L

Identify reagents necessary to convert cyclohexane into 1,3-cylohexadiene: notice that the starting material has no leaving grou

Vinvika [58]

1,3-cylohexadiene i synthesized starting from cyclohexane in following 4 steps.

1) Free Radical Substitution Rxn: Halogenation of cyclohexane in the presence of UV yield chlorocyclohexane.

2) Elimination Rxn: Dehydrohalogenation of chlorocyclohexane yields cyclohexene.

3) Halogenation of Cyclohexene (Electrophillic Addition Rxn) gives 1,2-dihalocyclohexane.

4) Elemination Rxn: When dibromocyclohexane is treated with KOH and heated it gives 1,3-cyclohexadiene as shown below,
