The electron configurations of elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table have them in the same type of subshell.
But the subshells may be of different shells. Thus , the energies of them need not be the same.
For example , The Alkalai Metals are found in the first column of the periodic table Group IA. This set of elements all have valence electrons in only the ' $s$ ' orbital and because they are in the first column they all have $s^{1}$ configuration. i.e,

H $1s^1$
Li $1s^2 2s^1$
Na $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1$
K $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^64s^1$

Which statement is true about intermolecular forces?

seropon [69]

Answer:

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Importance:

Intermolecular forces are important because they determine the physical properties of substances. Many of the life-sustaining properties of water such as its high heat capacity are a result of the hydrogen bonding capabilities it has and are thus due to intermolecular forces.
