B. ARRANGEMENT IN THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENT

1. Basic arrangement of the elements in the Periodic Table of elements :
.............................................................................................................................................
2. Example of Periodic Table of Elements
3. Periodic Table of Elements consists of :
i) Group : ....................
ii) Period : ....................

4. Definition:
a) i) Group is ..........................................................................................................................
ii) Relationship between Group and number of valence electron in the atom of
the element.

Number of valence electrons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

GROUP 1 2 13 14 15 16 17 18

b) i) Period is ..........................................................................................................................
ii) Relationship between Period and number of shells occupied with electrons in the
atom of the element.

Number of shell occupied with electrons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

PERIOD 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
